Here we are. 2016. And, in shared fashion, bloggers around the world are posting their thoughts and inspirations to get the new year started off on a good note.

And I’d like to join in, too, thank you very much!

So without further ado, let’s welcome 2016 with a fresh and re-inspired focus:

Set out to make your 2016 the BEST ADVENTURE yet!

Dreams are important. Make sure you pursue yours.

Friends are important, too. Don’t forget how much richer life is with them.

Don’t be afraid to express yourself. Especially to those you love.

Or to have some FUN (as often as you work and rest).

Practice one of life’s greatest secrets: have courage and be kind.

Allow yourself to be open to happy accidents, and whims of serendipity.

And NEVER forget that people matter. Treat others as you would wish to be treated.

Enjoy each day as it comes. Take a moment to just breathe … or roll in the grass.

And look ahead with expectation that you’re going to have a really GREAT YEAR.

HAPPY 2016 EVERYONE!
