I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. 
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.
Neil Gaiman

Taking some time to figure out my new year’s action list…

But in this season it is well to reassert that the hope of mankind rests in Faith. As man thinketh, so he is. Nothing much happens unless you believe in it, and believing there is hope for the world is a way to move toward it. 
Gladys Taber

Taking some time to appreciate all the happy moments from today…
