Thought for Today
“We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives … not looking for flaws, but for potential.” Ellen Goodman

New Year is the time to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the coming year. It is the time to forget and get past memories that are no longer useful or worth pondering upon. It is the time for new beginnings and new starts in life. New Year has a message for each one of us. One should let go of the past that has bad memories and accept what has happened, has happened for some reason. Instead of clinging onto your past and things that have gone, it is better to let go.
There is an old saying that goes, “Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened”. This essentially means that there is no use crying over spilt milk. You cannot turn back time and do things that would benefit you. Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days you are the statue. New year is the time of new beginnings. It is time to start afresh and do things that would make someone else smile. Make a pledge to make at least one person happy. You will see the difference it can make in both your lives. The essential message of New Year is let go off the past and embrace life as it comes to you. You will be happier and merrier that way.
May the coming year 2010 bring you happiness, success, wealth and good health!.

“…looking for potential.” Best part of this quote. Twisting about to review the past simply gives you a stiff neck. Looking forward is always best. Happy New Year. I like your center image the best. It’s a fun photo and I love fun.

I particularly like the TV shot because of the repetition of the profile.

The tv reflection is very clear and the wooden cabinet is so very handsome.
I wish you a happy and healthy journey into twenty ten.

Happy New Year! Love the reflections, especially the one with the T.V.! I like your mirror of venetian blinds, and I noticed that the window with the blinds on it is upside down in the mirror! How did you do that?? Check out my post from earlier in December called “Reflections On A Tree”. It has my Christmas Tree reflected in my computer screen, and me reflected in a Christmas ornament on the tree.
