Happy New Year’s Eve. It’s another beautiful sunny afternoon – not at all our typical December 31. It looks like October or early November. Still no snow. I think there are no more typical anything or back to the normal. We have to embrace change and learn to speak and do different. We have to stop clinging to the past and old cliches. We have to be brilliant so we can be resilient.

You know it. Those are my words for the new coming year. Resilience was my first choice. But when I saw the be brilliant sign, it grabbed me, too. I like to shine once in awhile. I don’t like being dark and gloomy all the time. What better time to shine than at the brink of the new year? I have to put up signs to remind me to glow instead of glower which is my nature. I have my work cut up for me living my words.

Do you have a word and if you do, what is it?
