Optimism.
Commitment.
Optimism seems prevalent because we as people are eager to move beyond our past - with it's failures and disappointments - towards a hopeful future filled with endless possibilities.
Commitment is a natural theme for many at the beginning of a new calendar year as well. We resolutely determine to make changes to our routines, our diets, our relationships, our goals. We hope to start over and really see improvement in these areas as we flex our will power.
As I mulled over those concepts and thought about giving them a soundtrack, one song stood out.
There is plenty of music out there, both 'sacred' and 'secular' that could exemplify the start of a new year. This one gets my vote because it underscores the ultimate reason I believe we have to embrace optimism and the challenges of commitment.
And with the uncertainties of this world, it is spiritually healthy to remember - "Who can stop the Lord Almighty?"
