It is a new day, the beginning of a new week; and soon, it will be the beginning of a New Year. It is easy to get caught up in the ugliness in the world. The financial crisis, the rising cost of food, gas, oil, health benefits…you name it. Crime is rampant. Each news day is filled with violence, with fear, with selfishness. I try to wrap my mind around the possibilities in each new day.
Today is a fresh start…a do over…a new beginning. It is not that the things that went before don’t exist; it is that they do exist, and because they do…things must start anew. Otherwise, it would be nothing but a downward spiral into a cesspool. There has to be hope. There has to be a promise that things will get better. There has to be a chance to change the course of evil. Each new day brings an opportunity to break away from the things that try to drag us down.
So here is to a renewal in the spirit of mankind, a breath of kindness, a balm of healing attitudes, the pursuit of goodness over evil, the heart of a giver over those who express greediness in our cultures, the potential of each step forward…let these areas of opportunities be contagious; and, an encouragement of others to infect every person that comes into contact with the idea of improving the world we live!
