I am amazed at all the posts I see on Facebook by people who cite numerous reasons they are happy to see 2011 go. It's as if they've chosen to have a vendetta with a given passing of time in the universe. If I chose to, I could rave about being at my sister's bedside when she passed away and having to endure a grueling 18th major surgery in 2011. I refuse to go there however. Instead, I see it as my sister's extreme suffering finally ended and I am still alive. I don't believe anything the universe dishes out to us is wrong... after all, it has survived 13.7 billion years to this point according to scientists... and it is showing no signs of closing up shop any time soon. I think we make a personal choice to perceive events in our life as being bad. In reality, if we try our best to see everything in a positive light the universe will eventually deliver only good things to us. I know everyone has some event they could cite to refute my position. It's their choice however to prevent any good coming from a negative circumstance. I just want to wish everyone a happy, positive and bountiful New Year filled with triumph over your outward circumstances. The tired old cliche about any day above ground is a good day is absolutely true. I hope you all make 2012 the best year of your life so far with no bitter regrets harbored at the end of it.
