a year's end.

&

a new year's

chance to begin.

This past year has filled all of us with memories. It is all of our joys, griefs, good times and bad times, that has brought us into this moment for another year, another beginning. Yes, many things might stay the same or dramatic changes will be in store for us, yet one thing will definately remain. We all share in this search for happiness, peace, and fullfilment. More importantly, as some of us might think we have reached all of our goals, it simply cannot be true. Life does not have a finish line. Many of us do believe that death is or isn't that finish line, but we can all make sure we do completely live until that moment comes when we are we are facing it.

I feel that 2009 has not been easy for many of us and that is okay, because a new year does give us some hope and of course, opportunity.

And so, a few last words to share that have meant so much to me this year:

• Live well, breathe deep, and keep on going.
• Respect is the greatest currency.
• This moment is your life.
• A great idea, backed by great passion, will make a difference.
• And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count; it's the life in your years.

From all of us at Hovey Lee, we wish you a very healthy, peaceful and joyous new year.

"to the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty,

and in the same field, it beholds, every hour,

a picture which was never seen before

and which will never be seen again."
