Getting ready for the New Year is like the first day of school for me. I love the excitement I get from starting something new…even if it isn’t really something new. I like to clean, organize, finish projects so that I can start the New Year fresh.
This week I’ve been thinking that we
should all look forward and not behind. Yesterday is in the past…tomorrow and
2015 is yet to come and what we make of it is determined by what we do and do
not do.
We say we want to lose weight…it’s not
going to happen sitting on the couch.
We say we want to make more money…then
see if there is a way to do that by cutting back, getting a better job, or
selling something of value.
We say we want to stop smoking…then
contact a smoking cessation support group.
Nothing is going to happen if we sit
still and do nothing.
I’m looking forward to the exciting
things 2015 will bring. We will cover the positive, the quirky, the interesting
people and events that happen in our communities. We are always striving to
make The Windham Eagle a stronger paper that keeps you informed, entertains you
and makes you proud to call Windham, Raymond, Gray, New Gloucester, Standish
home.
We will set some New Year’s resolutions
here at the paper, I’m not sure what they will be, and we will call them goals,
but it’s the same idea. We all should strive to be better, do better and act
better.
When we think about 2015, we need to
consider what outside influences will do to us. In this week’s paper, see what
the outlook is for the real estate market, look at the movies from 2014, many
of which are still playing at the theater, and visit with Gary Plummer as he
turns in his political hat after decades serving the community.
I guess we have to look back, just a
glance, to see where we’ve been so we can know how great the future is.
Happy New Year to all of our readers,
advertisers and supporters. We wish you all the best in 2015.
