Soon we’ll be celebrating the arrival of a new
year. Custom has it that when this new year is about to arrive,
it’s time to make some New Year Resolutions. In other words to
make some promises that you “hope” to keep during this upcoming
year.
I believe the best resolution we can make is to
try really hard to be optimistic. This gave me the idea to write
this alphabet.
An Alphabet for Optimists
A I will ALWAYS think positive.
B I will BETTER myself whenever I can.
C I will CONCENTRATE on nice things
D I will DEVOTE myself to saying nice things.
E I will EMPHASIZE the good side of things.
F I will FAITHFULLY try my best at all times.
G I will GIVE a lot and take less.
H I will not HESITATE to do happy things.
I I will INTEREST others in doing good works.
J I will be JOYOUS in my outlook on life.
K I will be KIND and not step on someone’s
dreams.
L I will LOVE things that are lovable.
M I will MOVE gently and not trample on other
people’s feelings.
N I will NOTICE the good and avoid the bad.
O I will OPEN my mind to discover my soul.
P I will PLEASE others and not just myself.
Q I will QUESTION what is questionable.
R I will REMAIN myself at all times.
S I will SAVE time to be with those I love.

I think as resolutions go, these cover it all!!!!
A Nice Thought
“A wish for you. May the best of last year be
the worst of this new year.”
Wishing everyone the happiest of new years, full of wonderful
surprises!
