Inspiration for the New Year (Free Printable)

I haven't had much of a chance to reflect on the new year. But I have to say with all the shootings, kidnappings, natural disasters and more that went on last year, I am glad 2012 is over.  I'm looking forward to what I hope will be a better year.  I'm not one for resolutions; I don't think you should wait for Jan 1st to set new goals, but I do like the idea of starting over; being granted a clean slate. I think 2013 will be very much an effect of 2012--meaning I think it's a year that will be very much influenced by the previous one.  In light of a lot of things that happened in 2012, we have a lot to do and learn as a society.  For me personally, my intentions and goals for the new year will be much more personal--character building--rather than things like "lose weight" or "save money."  I think now, more than ever, we really need to be kinder and thoughtful with one another... and do what we can to instill those values into our children.

When I saw this free printable from Ellinee I thought it was perfect inspiration for 2013.  I'm going to print this out and keep it on my mantle. I wanted to share it with you as a start of putting forward that positive mindset for the new year.  There are two versions.  You can download your's here.

I'll have something fun for you tomorrow!
