Tenacity is the way you are retentive. Resilience is the way to live. These words have guided us as they guided people who have had to struggle throughout life. They were strong. They probably weren’t brilliant when they began, but as they grew wiser, they were the best of us all. Right now, we are nobodies on our way to becoming somebodies. We are going into this year head-first. And as of right now I can guarantee that none of us are brilliant, or brave, or strong, but now as we dive head-first into this new way of life we will become the best that we can be, we finally will be brave, and brilliant. We will learn that being brave means knowing all the risks and still be willing to take them. And now as I finish this speech, I encourage you all as well as myself, to not only smile, but to remember to laugh! As in the words of Julia Roberts, “Happiness isn’t happiness, unless there’s a violin playing goat.” Thank you, happy new year to all, and I hope there are many violin playing goats in your future.
