I guess I am ready. I wonder how long it will take me to write 2018 on everything instead of 2017.

It is just the turn of a calendar page to me. It's not like the sun suddenly shines brighter.

I'm already looking forward to all that lies ahead. Unlike many I am a real positive bunny at this time of year.

Yes, another year is upon us - it doesn't seem that long since we entered the new millenium, yet here we are 18 years later.

I welcome every milestone though for me life is an ongoing process with course corrections whenever needed. Mindful living gives us peace of mind. The Buddha said "Learn to let go. That is the key to happiness" I hope we do that at all levels in 2018 - siva

I think that Budda has something there, we often dwell on the past and d=worry about the future rather than just live today. I am looking forward to the new year.
