Everyone who knows, even a little bit of me knows that I not only LOVE Christmas and actually advocate celebrating/observing the GOODNESS of  it not just a little each day, but also PRACTICE MERRY CHRISTMAS the 25th of every month, especially, DECEMBER 25th and of course, JULY 25th (or all of July) for CHRISTMAS IN JULY!

Well.    .   .WHAT ABOUT NEW YEAR’S DAY?  I mean, that’s a huge part of the CHRISTMAS SEASON to me as well.  And yes, not as boisterous but just a powerfully, I celebrate each day (EVERY DAY) as a New Year’s Day of sorts; complete with my own personal goals/wishes/hopes/aspirations.      .      .

In fact, every morning I wake up (and have been given another blessing/chance of a new day I start off with my version of  very old/ritualistic version of a Jewish Prayer which is translated from the Hebrew this way:

I HEREBY GIVE THANKS TO YOU, LIVING AND ETERNAL KING, FOR RESTORING MY SOUL TO ME GRACIOUSLY , GREAT IS YOUR TRUSTWORTHINESS

My version of this is even more simple and it’s my 1% of my ever-limited 100% of every day:

THANK YOU FOR THE SLEEP I JUST HAD AND FOR WAKING UP TO A NEW DAY

WHAT WILL BE YOUR 1% today…remember; your not changing the world or yourself but just 1%
NOW
TODAY
AT THIS MOMENT.          .          .
