Happy New Year!

Just a reminder that any remaining vacation time for 2006 must be used by the end of January or you will lose it.

As we start out this New Year, I wanted to share this great reflection. My what a different world and workplace it could be if we would strive to practice these principles.

The Optimist’s Creed
Promise Yourself—
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
