The Best Is Yet To Come, Keep Your Fork
When I read this quote the following story immediately came to mind. It is about a woman diagnosed with a terminal illness. She was dying.

Spend More Time Doing What You Love
It’s funny, despite the good intentions and resolutions, the reality is most new years we come back to the daily routine feeling nothing much has changed in the last year.
