![]() I have another blog/website that I use for conferences that I may teach or lead a workshop where I upload my sessional content. I also use it for educational technology and career technology items from my previous work as a classroom teacher. Oddly enough, I have an html script on the website that captures all IP addresses when they visit the site. It only shows what city and country the visitor is accessing the webpage from. It merely shows me how small the world truly is because of the internet. Each year on January 1, the world map clears itself and allows the tracking to reset. All of those visitors through the year are wiped clean and now the site starts all over. Not to sound "cheesy" but that is sort of what the New Year is as well. It provides the possibility to "Start Again", "Start Fresh", or even wipe away all mistakes and purpose to make right choices and decisions, to begin BRAND NEW.. A quote by Mehmet Murat ildan that humorously sums up 2020 states, "Sometimes a year has been so disastrous and so terrible that entering a new year will automatically mean entering a wonderful year!" Due to craziness of this year, many people are ready to have 2020 end as soon as possible and move to the new year. This year has seen a major series of world events, market recessions, natural disasters, weather fiasco's, political upheavals, and not to mention a life changing global pandemic like most of us have never seen before. On the other hand, it has also been a year of triumphs and accomplishments, new opportunities, new relationships, new medical discoveries, and new open doors for many individuals. Each year, most hope for their dreams, or at least one life dream, to come true. We purpose in our hearts, typically, that this new year will be different; we will win, we will accomplish our hopes and truly "live our dream". 2021 has the potential to offer many opportunities, but so does each and every day. It all depends on how we start and finish our day. I, for one, am really looking forward to the opportunities ahead this year. The possibilities are limitless. Tackling the unknown is thrilling. This year should/will bring new adventures, a brand new living environment/culture, a beautiful relationship, and the hope of starting/making a new life. There are three quotes that I really like.....one by David Bowie, the second by Danielle Carson. and finally Robin Sharma. 1. I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring. 2. The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot. 3. Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life. **Here is to the best year yet; Hello 2021!
