A new year, a new beginning, a new
start for all of us. HAPPY NEW YEAR
and happy resolution making and
achieving season! I hope that your year
is wonderful and prosperous. I want to
give you a few quotes that have
inspired me.
“It doesn’t matter where you came
from. All that matters is where you are
going.”-- Brian Tracy
Nothing is impossible; the word itself
says "I'm possible." --Audrey Hepburn
I task each of you to find a quote, a
saying, a song, a lyric or verse that
inspires you to stick to your resolutions
and fresh start. This will help you to stay
on track and stay motivated.
The upcoming months are going to be
busy with stock shows, sports and end of
year school functions. Seniors, keep on
keepin' on. Your almost done with high
school and going to start a huge next
chapter in your life.
I am looking forward to this 2019 year
and wish you all, again, best wishes!
