Wouldn’t that be wonderful
If the New Year bought a new YOU
Your friends and family would love it!

A you who shows up
A you who is engaged
A you that cares more about
What is going on in other peoples lives
Than what is happening in your own.

A you who arrives on time
And sometimes, leaves early.
A you who loves what is being served
And doesn’t have a better recipe.

A you who smiles-
Is happy, witty, and even joyful.
Wow – that would be an
Amazing you.

A you who follows through
With plans and dreams.
A you who isn’t afraid,
Sees the positive
And stops smothering others
In your fear and negativity.

A you who loves
Who shows empathy instead of pity
A you who looks for the best in others
A you who laughs and plays and enjoys life.

Perhaps it’s the 3 year old you
That is the new you.
Maybe the new you has been there all along.
Maybe the new you is a very old version of you.

Happy New Year!
I hope you find that new you
And when you do –
Let’s play!
