"One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things."

JOHN BURROUGHS

  1. As the saying goes, "Don't sweat the small stuff." Happy New Year to you too. Hope this year is awesome for you!!

  2. Hope 2013 is better for you than 2012 was. Hoping you and your family get healthy and stay that way.

  3. The hardest thing to do sometimes is to let go of things, especially the small things! They seem to bother me a lot more sometimes than the really big things.

    Hope everyone has a very Happy New Year.

    1. Letting go is hard whether it's letting go of the small or the bigger things. It's always good when we manage though, it shows we're moving on with our lives.

      Happy New Year Randy.
