Dec 31, 2013 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter 

I'm into New Year's resolutions. I can't help it - I just like the whole constant improvement thing.  This year, for something new and different, I've added meditation to my list.  My mind is ALWAYS going and although I accomplish a great deal because of this, just think of the possibilities if I gave it a rest once in awhile.  I know, I know - resolutions are supposed to actually be attainable.  But I thought about putting it on my list in past years and didn't so maybe 2014 is the year it will happen since it is written down! So (here's the reaching out part), if you or someone local you know can help a hopelessly stubburn TYPE A with this meditation thing, then PLEASE COME FORWARD.  There, done.  The other resolutions, I can do myself.  Happy 2014 and thank you for subscribing to CC.  Let's celebrate 5 years together in May!
