Felix sit annus novus! – Happy New Year in Latin – for those of us still learning. 
There is something about the new year that brings new adventures our way. We get caught up in the excitement and the “newness” of it all. Everyone is always interested in the next “best”, “new” thing. As the saying goes, “Out with the old, and in with the new.”
But what ever happened to our “old” dreams? Do we let go of our old dreams and just start fresh with new ones? Do our old dreams turn into modified new ones? Before we are so quick to get rid of our “old” dreams, perhaps we should reflect on them, and if they are still part of our goals, keep them.
People all over still cherish “old” ideas and keep “old” memories alive. Traditions are old ideas passed on through generations. We keep those traditions alive because they remind us of things we hold dear. So, even though I am an advocate of change and accept change as gracefully as I can, I do enjoy the “old” with the new.
Never give up your hopes, and certainly not your dreams – whether old or new. May you have a new year filled with health and happiness!
Happy New Year!
