I am proud of me. And I am proud of you, too. Today marks the beginning of a new year. I am here writing this, and you are here reading it, because in our lives we have all lost something precious to us — the love of the person we were the closest to. And, while we are struggling at times to find our way in this new reality, the fact remains that we are trying. That is all we can do. That is what will help us find our way back onto the dance floor of life: “Dance before the music is over. Live before your life is over.” Today is not just a new day, it is also a brand new year. We all have the opportunity to embark on 365 chances to dance to the music of life, even if the tune does sound unfamiliar to us. So, with that thought in mind, I want to share with you my “theme song” for the year. It’s by one of my favorite groups, Abba, and is called “I Have a Dream.” I encourage you to find your dream. Then find a way to follow it. Find your life again. Rejoin the dance before you miss your chance.
