(If you are like me, meals for your vegetarian friends usually consist of a pizza, or fettuccine Alfredo! Totally boring for them I’m sure!)

I wonder if the way you view the new year has any relationship to whether you are a pessimist or optimist? Whether you tend to look forward in life, or tend to look back? Whether you like to minimize your “weight”, or hang onto “stuff”? Do you view it as the close of a year, or as the beginning of a new one? Until this … Continue reading The Close…and Beginning
