We have much to be thankful for this past year.  So, now all that needs to be done is for us to make the most of a whole New Year!  This is the time when we can set aside the disappointments or discouragements from the past year and start anew.  We can learn from the successes and failures so that we strive to be even more and even better this year than we were the year before.

With the passing of 2013 we are another year older, wiser and better prepared.  We are stronger and more capable to face tomorrow because of our yesterdays.  This year is the opportunity for us to make ourselves a little better, a little happier, a little kinder and a little wiser.  May we take the opportunity at hand with a fresh start on this first day of a new year.

Let us strive to make 2014 a great year for ourselves, our loved ones, our country and our world!

Happy New Year!
