Christmas will soon be over and a new year will begin! Time has flown by with many ups and downs.
I hope that all of you have a blessed Christmas! Celebrate the birth of Christ! Enjoy your families and friends!
Most of all during this Christmas season remember it lasts all year long! We need to remember the joy, laughter, fun and excitement all year long! Remember our life here on earth is just a moment! So love,give back, enjoy random acts of kindness, remember our seniors(many of us are there already). Christmas is a time of giving.
Laugh, sing in the rain, sit a moment, reflect, embrace life, be sad when you need to but remember that God's gift was eternal life for all things on earth! Christmas is living in the moment and bringing new memories to the day and year ahead! Christmas is about relationships not stuff! Make the most of this holiday season and spend it with the people that you love and create positive memories. A no stress season!
As I look at the New Year I need to reflect on the old! Ups and downs but some exciting times as well. Thank you to Black Hawk Gaming Commission, Theisens, Iowa Horse Council, Junior League and CUNA Mutual for our latest grants.
ASPIRE has served 1,331 individuals this year and yes with grace, fun, laughter and new learning in a natural and peaceful environment.
The New Year will bring lots of new ups and downs! New people, new clients, new grants, new volunteers, new donors, new board members, new staff and lots more fun, laughter, and learning out here on our beautiful farm with beautiful animals.
So just a word of thanks to everyone for everything you have done and made this year possible with all the ups and downs. I hope your New Year brings lots of joy, laughter and health to you and yours.
Blessings abound
