Happy New Year from the Fort Worth Chapter APA

Thoughts as we begin a new year… Let us mend a quarrel. Share some treasure. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Keep a promise. Find the time. Forego a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Listen. Apologize if we were wrong. Try to understand. Appreciate. Be kind, be gentle. Laugh a little. Laugh a little more. Welcome a stranger. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. We look forward to seeing you in 2009.
