A choice can be a simple thing, a moment in time with little apparent significance.  Yet, moving through time, from childhood into adulthood, all those little choices add up to make a life.  We build our characters, personalities, destinies, one deed at a time.  Our actions when we are stressed or emotionally exhausted provide an open window into the soul.  We become our choices; every decision made from the day we come into this world forms us into the people we are today.

It takes only one step to begin a thousand mile journey.  Each following step leads us closer to our goal and further away from where that first step was made.  At the end of any physical, emotional, or spiritual, journey, I am not who I was at the first choice or beginning.  The experience of the journey has created a new person, one who can never completely return to the start and choose another direction. 

Something to contemplate as we start a new year.  Who am I today? What new venture can I begin that will enhance the person I have become?  

A Blessing for the New Year!

• My prayer for each of you is that your life will exceed your expectations. 
• May your days be filled with perfect balance. 
• May your Blessings keep you humble and grateful.
• May your Joys be a never ceasing spring flowing from within. 
• May your trials all become victories. And May this New Year be filled to the brim with possibility.  –Dara Dietz
