Make your wish, dream your dream. Be resolute. Mold your tomorrow. The future is in your hands!

A friend said recently, "We all just need to be more grateful." I thought, "How profound!"

Therefore, I resolve to significantly reduce bellyaching!

This image is a portion of a glass sculpture I photographed at a Red Cross (Celebration of Red Cross House's 10-year anniversary) hosted by a philanthropist couple in Philadelphia. I don't think it had anything to do with crystal balls, or the Time Square (midnight) Waterford Ball, but that's partially how I am seeing it today!

Wishing you all a happy, safe, warm, healthy, and captivating New Year. Don't forget to VOTE!

Outstanding capture and presentation Michelle for bringing in the New Year. #10935691Ken Smith January 03, 2014
I like your News Year Resolution. If everyone would scrap their negative attitudes and see the glass as "half full", life would be so much easier…even without the coveted EP! :-) Love the comp/colors in this, Michelle! #10936408Alex T. Mizuno January 03, 2014
