In just a few more days we will usher in a brand New Year full of potential for greatness, success, change and a fresh start. Out with the old in with the new. So, with expectancy, hearts and minds will, without question, begin to think of resolutions, goals, promises, changes, and new beginnings as they contemplate the future and ponder the question “what will it bring?” To answer this question, the only sobering answer can be “time will tell.” At this point, a look in the rear-view mirror is futile since nothing can be done to change the past. What is done is done.
I do not make resolutions but prefer the idea of goal setting. There is a difference. I am under no pressure or obligation to complete or stick to a task by a specific deadline. You may disagree with me, but I feel no urgency to complete a particular goal just because I added it to my yearly list of to-dos. If it is not feasible in one year, it is simply carried over to the next, and the next, until it is accomplished (hopefully in my lifetime 😊). Whenever it is completed it is then checked off my list.
I do not refer to my list either as a “bucket list.” What? Am I supposed to kick the bucket after I’ve fulfilled the list? Words have power and I am careful about what I say so that my words don’t become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It is customary to add to my list travel plans and 2019 will be no different. God willing, my sights are set towards Europe, Africa and the Caribbean in random order. Time and money are not the only two factors to consider in making this happen. Where there is a will there is a way. Local travel will include a cruise which I hope will take me to the final continent – the last frontier. As the year progresses these ambitious plans will be fleshed out to include specific places, dates and times. Therefore, stay tuned to hear more on my adventures at home and abroad.
2018 has been an awesome year for Travel Itineraries. Through the ups and downs it continues to grow daily. Consistency, clear focus and dedicated persistence have been the underpinnings of its progress. The weekly posting has led to a community of peeps who are loyal and interested. For this I give God thanks and am truly grateful. To bare out what I am saying and to show the growth here is some data which will put it into perspective:
Visitors from 110 countries have viewed the website. This year, TI received several alerts from the website’s hosting platform that highlighted unusually high activity. In my attempt to finish strong, like you, I wonder “what will 2019 bring?” Only God knows and as I said before time will tell.
Community Peeps and viewers, for the coming year I wish you and yours abundant blessings beyond your expectations. Go forward in faith and embrace all the potential for good. Be kind, thoughtful and generous with your words of affirmation and encouragement. May the New Year find you healthy, happy and bring you lots of success. As you set travel plans please consider using the services of yours truly for a bespoke itinerary which will give you memorable experiences. Travel safely.
