~:[CH6 - Day 1]:~ May 2017 Start Like 2016 Finished

Often times, the new year brings new resolutions. It's great. I think it's good for people to set goals and try to reach for them. For 2017, I hope that it continues to be like 2016 finished. I accomplished a lot, grew a lot and while I do have goals for the upcoming year, I want to continue my revolution, rather than focusing on resolutions. No, not revolutions in terms of worldwide change, but in terms of my own life, my own thought process and own growth. I've got things to fix and work on, but it's part of a bigger plan that I want to continue and not new goals I set every January. Regardless of where you are in your life, I wish and hope for nothing but the best for you in 2017. I wish you good health, good fortune, and that all that you give, comes back to you two fold (or more). As while it's great to reach your goals, accomplish things, and make gains, it's also much more rewarding to see how your selflessness and generosity grows and how it works in the life of others. I ended 2016 around friends and family and my greatest goal for this year is to keep myself surrounded by friends and family, as they are their love and support is the greatest reward, treasure, and accomplishment around. I hope that 2017 allows our paths to cross and hope that we can grow together and reach heights that we never could have imagined. Yes, 2016 was revolutionary and I hope that it carries on into 2017. Cheers to another year, as we celebrate another day on this planet. 

As a new addition to the 2017 blog, I will also be trying to post a weekly picture from the past to dive back into the photo albums to reflect on a moment in the past.

~:[My Grandfather]:~

My grandfather was something special. I was his piano, as he said I produced some great music when I laughed (normally because he tickled me). He always thought of others from when he sponsored families to come to the US to always sneaking us money and saving every coin to make jars for all of his grandchildren. He always gave us high wise words, trying to make sure we did things right and I know that a lot of who I am is because of all that he taught me. We used to eat together almost every week and I always treasured these moments with him. His loving and caring spirit was only bested by his smile that made me want to smile even more. People often mention that I smile a lot and I think a lot of the reason behind that is because of him. I wished so dearly that he would be there when I graduated high school and college, but I know that a lot of the reason I was able to was because of him.
