It makes me think of what my high school counselors always said: "Your freshman year counts, because it sets the tone for your high school career." And I see January that way - as the tone setter. I realize we may live January at the height of excitement to find the rest of the year is a disappointing one, personally, professionally, etc. But I think the thing we can control is our attitude, our perspective, and if we approach January with the attitude that is an end rather than a beginning, I think we unconsciously short our year hardly before it's begun.<br /><br />And I see your post as part of the freshness that renews my faith this month, as a stroke that paints perspective on my canvas, the pen that writes hope at the beginning of this chapter.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993362069091791525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-48747009249249435172012-01-09T21:19:44.531-05:002012-01-09T21:19:44.531-05:00Well said.
