Happy Chinese New Year

2/3/2011

Today is Chinese New Year. Gong Hay Fat Choi!!! A new beginning and a great adventure is taking shape. In one week I begin a wonderful journey. I know there are going to be some tough times mixed in there but they will only serve to make the good times that much sweeter. While I watched the festivities of the day I felt a certain excitement all around. It was a feeling that some good times are just around the corner. Perhaps I am forever an optimist but really, life is what you make of it. If you want to be happy you will be. You will take the necessary steps to put a smile on your face. We can only control ourselves and our thoughts. Everything else is out of our hands. Just like my running. When I tell myself I can take one more step I do it. My steps will carry me to the right destination. I am sure of it.
