During the holiday season, kindness and generosity seem to be ever present.  We smile at strangers, hug our loved ones and set resolutions for the New Year.  As we take time to re-evaluate our personal goals, may we also remember those who have no promise in their hearts for the future, who are less fortunate and may be struggling. 

Let us not forget our neighbors, friends and acquaintances in our goals for 2012.   Set the example, “pay it forward”, offer assistance to someone who may be facing adversity.  Keep in mind, investing a few minutes of your time may be more valuable than a monetary donation.  Say please and thank you, because nice matters. 

Have a safe and wonderful Holiday from our family to yours and the best for 2012!
