A Brand New Day


... continued from page 2


and that I just graduated from Door Monitor School and that I am now working on my PHD. It’s my silly way to make the day just a bit easier for someone. Usually I get a nice smile and or laughter and at that point I feel even more alive than I did just a moment before...plus, you just never know when someone may open a door for you one day. It feels nice. Te more I do it for other people, the more the doors have been opened for me, literally and figuratively. So you may ask yourself...”Is it re- ally a new year(Yes, according to tax laws and other related responsibilities) or is it a new day and potential new frontier of life. Te best part of it is...we all get to choose, and how cool is that! Happy new year/ day to you all and may this and every- day be a better than the last!
