The New Year

.

It’s Holiday Time 2011 and it would seem that we have to dig no deeper than to be thankful for what we have and maybe even what we do not have.

 

Friends, business colleagues, relatives…man they are all out there and do I appreciate every one of them.

People helping people…much like what Star 105.5 did last weekend with the Salvation Army toy collect.

Pioneer and PADS…year in and year out helping the homeless and even helping our friend Steve.

 

Members of the fire service and police in communities throughout the country are all on the line and all very special folks.

 

And the list goes on…and on…and on.

 

Notwithstanding the worst economy in maybe 100 years, take a step back and smell the roses and be thankful for what you do have, and maybe worry less and less about what you don’t have.

 

2012 is here. Hop on board.
