As the bell of 2012 plays its melodic tune in perfect harmony with the background drone of a drunken version of Old Lang Syne, I craft this post as I begin my reflection of the year gone by and simultaneously commit myself to 2012 by charting and documenting my course(s) of action to the goals I have established this year. I am constantly reminded by signs and indications around me of my true purpose and gifts. Therefore, in the execution of one of my personal goals of "giving more" I give you these 21 suggestions; written by a man who was clearly blessed by having and appreciating the great people he was fortunate enough to have in his life.
Do your best in 2012
-Enjoy!
