First day of 2012

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Eve. We spend ours watching an old classic "Murder on the Orient Express" and topped it off with the new "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". (They should have really bumped up the rating to an R so it could have played out more realistically. The PG 13 rating limited the realism.)

I hope, whatever your events were last night they were enjoyed with optimism for the coming year. It's a bright beautiful day filled with possibilities and hope out there. Better go out and grab it. Life is too short to focus on the constant weight of misery. There is so much happiness out there that does not have to based on monetary value, technology, or gadgets. Letting go of old hurts and sadness in life can free you to experience this beautiful world, whether your world encompasses the globe or never makes it out of a few city block's range, live life instead of just observing it. I know that is my plan for this year.

Happy 2012.
