Today's Picture to Ponder Photos
Our granddaughter, one of our grandsons, and their two cousins greeting the sunrise at Boynton Beach, FL, in 2004. I love this photo and particularly like using it to close the year or start a new one. In one of our first issues of Picture to Ponder in December, two years ago, we featured the above photo, stating,

" As the dawn of 2005 approaches, we send wishes for radiant Health, Joy, and Peace. May each day's beginnings bring cause to celebrate." Sheila and Sam Finkelstein

We now add these same wishes for 2007 along with the wish for the New Year to be filled with boundless blessings and an abundance of good for all.

For those who like color and flowers, I invite you to visit the Roses in last year's closing issue. See 2005 Year-End Issue .

Self-Reflecting Queries
I would expect that most of you are being reminded to look at the past year and to set intentions, resolutions, goals (whatever you call them) for 2007, so I'll simply invite you to:

Reflect back on 2006. What would you like to claim as yours in gratitude and celebration? Now project yourself into December 31, 2007. What do you see yourself celebrating? Then Go for it ALL, starting NOW.

Have fun! With love and appreciation, Sheila and Sam
