As we sit here today, in the last hours, the last minutes, the last seconds of the year 2014, let us not forget the year we have had.

Let us not forget the new friends that we have made, the friends that have left us (for one reason or another), and the friends we have grown closer with.

Let us not forget the relationships we have forged, with friends, family, loved ones, pets, and anyone else.

Let us not forget all those who are dedicating their lives overseas and all across the world for our safety, those brave men and women who are unable to be with their families during the holidays.

Let us not forget the first responders of our great nation; those who risk their lives to save our own, each and every day.

Let us not forget the major milestones that have occurred this year, with technology, medicine, communications, science, engineering, entertainment, manufacturing, and everything else I haven't mentioned.

Last but not least, let us not forget the bright future that each and every one of us has, as the year 2014 draws to a close. Let us not forget this small chapter in life, as we begin to write the next chapter, in the great big book of life.

James 4:13-16:

"Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil."

As we dance the last night of 2014 away, may god bless you all as you continue on your individual endeavors, and have a very Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year.
