For the past couple of years, I've begun the new year posting this quote from Neil Gaimon which, obviously, I particularly love.

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art - write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
          _Neil Gaiman

Practice Gratitude, Learn To Say Thank You
From YouTube:
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others
         - Marcus Tullius Cicero
As YouTube puts it Shots of Awe host...'Jason Silva...freestyles complex systems of society, technology and human existence and discusses the truth and beauty of science in a form of existential jazz'
          Most of his vids work for me, some few don't.This one in particular, seems a great message for the beginning of the new year.
