“It’s OK to listen to your heart. I know it’s risky. Go ahead and take that leap. There are so many things you can’t control: earthquakes, war, famine. It’s important to remember the things we can control, things like love and forgiveness. … Love in every one of its forms. Loves gives us hope. Hope for the New Year...
This was one of my favorite of many wonderful quotes from the movie New Years Eve...like it or not...it had a lot of great themes that I think during this holiday season, we should all try to embrace. Whether it's reconciling with an old friend, apologizing to someone, being the "bigger person", telling someone how much you care about them...whatever your own little "risk" may be - take it. You never know the last time you'll be able to tell someone you love them or even how much you appreciate them. If we could all live our life just showing our appreciation and care a little more...the world would be a better and happier place.
I feel blessed that I was able to tell my mom how much I loved her during her last days. However, that does not take away the regret and guilt I have for any hurtful words that were said over the years. I know, I know...everyone fights - but if we could just think a little before we speak ...we wouldn't carry such negative feelings years later. I hope that over the holidays and as the New Year is approaching...we can all just sit back and reflect a little bit on how much the people in our life mean to us - and how we can show our love more ...
