In considering the topics on which to write about in my last letter to you this year, many thoughts came to mind. As we all know, this has been a very trying and difficult year for many. So, I decided not to look back as much but instead to look forward to what we can hope for in the year 2010.
These are some of the things that I came up with for what I hope for in the year to come. Feel free to share yours with me, if you want. Here is my, as David Letterman would say, “Top 10:”
- Good health for all of my family and friends;
- World peace;
- Prosperity for those who work in order to support their families;
- The continued success of America serving as a leader for all nations;
- Unemployment to decrease;
- Housing crisis to stabilize;
- Keeping old friendships strong and building new ones;
- Being proud of my children’s grades and their behavior;
- That my wife continues to cook fabulous meals that we share with others;
- That the Suns, Yankees, and New York Giants all win championships.
Of course, this list can go on and on, but I wanted to focus on those things within my control, those that are out of my control, and those that I just plain wish for. I promised myself to try to accomplish as much as I can that is in my control. Hopefully, that will lead to a year of fulfillment.
I wish you and your families all of the best in this coming year and hope that your hopes, whatever they may be, will be realized as well.
See you next year!
Very truly yours,
