President’s Message

Happy New Year!

Yes! A very Happy New Year to one and all!

An interesting time isn’t it? I guess that depends on one’s perspective, and politics. But, overall, let’s remember to give thanks for what we have, what we’ve learned, remembered and done over the year 2025.

In the November message I asked “where do we go from here?” Let me ask that again, just because I want to nudge you once more to consider, deeply consider, your yearly goals and intentions. I’m doing it too.

Are you comfortable with the status quo? Your status. Is this where you want to be? Are you happy doing what you’re doing now? Is this “where it’s at” for you? Are you living in the present, the Here, Now, on this day….

Hopefully a resounding Yes!

But even if it’s not, remember, Every Day is a new day, open to continue on a path or change. That is our every daily choice. What are the obligations or promises we’ve made? Are they to our benefit? Are they completed or fulfilled or fulfilling? To be honest, I’ve struggled with it, still do.

Looking or remembering my old expectations of ageing, I saw myself “sitting on the dock of the bay” watching mother nature’s miracles of life, watching sunsets, and investigating, reading opinions on “what’s it all about”, but staying away from newscasters, pundits and opinionated journalists.

I’m still dreaming that, while there’s time! Ahhh! Isn’t that the metaphysical conflict? Or is it life’s cosmic joke? Making plans… and God laughing.

There is only the Now, Present time. The past is gone, the future doesn’t exist. So, where do we go from here, this Now? Again, our choice, your choice!

Therefore, let’s make our New Year, Your New Year a Happy New Year, Day by Day, Every Day!

Namaste, Chas
