If you are reading this post (or following this blog), I have dubbed you "Lemonheads". I apologize if this in any way, shape or form offends any of you - it is simply meant as a play on words... As such, I would like to wish all of you Lemonheads (and your families) a very safe New Year's eve, and the very best for 2009.
Tonight, I hope you take a moment to appreciate the friends and family in your life. Take a moment to appreciate what surrounds you: your home, the food on the table, the clothes on your back. Remember that one time in your life when you might have struggled to get to the next step. Remember that most important lesson that will be with you forever.
Tonight, look back on 2008 and recall the easiest times and the most difficult ones. In all of those moments, we learned something and grew. Remember the moments you shared a lesson with someone else; remember when you did one kind thing for a stranger.
Tonight, remember the year that was... The Chinese say "may you live in interesting times", and we sure do! A global economic upheaval, the first African-American president of the USA, and crazy politics "North of 49". Remember C.W. Jeffries; remember more natural disasters than we care to think about; and remember the people who are sleeping outside tonight.
Tomorrow: Make a difference! It's a brand new day, and a brand new year.
To all of you, the very best for '09. Stay tuned to the Lemon Tree for some more ideas and some action to be taken in the year to come!
