Happy New Year! Welcome, 2018!

Happy New Year from our family to yours!

2017 had its share of surprises. Sure, there were a few bumps along the road. And maybe there was a sinkhole or two along the way. But we did it. We made it through another circuit around the Sun. Congratulations! We did it! Happy New Year!

Here’s hoping for a great 2018, full of hope, love, and a few breathtaking surprises along the way. Sure, there will be some valleys. But it’s my hope and prayer that 2018 turns out to be the best year ever. Let’s work together to make that possible. After all, teamwork makes the dream work. That’s what they say, anyway. Right?

I found a quote a few years ago. I don’t know who originally said it, but I really like it.

“May your troubles be as short as your New Year’s resolutions.”

So many of us enter the New Year with big hairy goals that they want to accomplish: lose weight, get more organized, finish writing that book. Unfortunately, they find themselves making those same resolutions the following New Year’s Eve. Have you made resolutions for 2018? What are you going to do to make this year different? Today is a blank slate. The whole year is a blank slate. What are you going to add to your story in 2018?

What can we do to help you keep your 2018 resolutions?

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below. Or you can share them on the Life in the Fishbowl facebook page. Let’s make 2018 a year unlike any other! We can only do that by working together, encouraging each other and even sharing each other’s burdens.

Community.

It’s what makes the human experience so amazing. It’s a core component of life. And, as the Todd family motto has reminded us throughout the decades:

“It behooves us to live!”

So happy new year! Let’s work together to make 2018 the best year ever!
