See all- There are only two mistakes - not starting and not stoppingThe Rising Sun Arts Centre, Reading
It's time to hang up the new calendar and wonder where the much-toted hoverboards are - again.
Happy New Year!
With age comes wisdom, and the realisation that making New Year Resolutions is kin to leaving a few £10 notes on the pavement and expecting them to be there in a month. It's possible but unlikely.
If your resolution is so good why did you wait until now to do it?
In this Assembly, we won't ask you to make New Year's resolutions but invite you to share those activities and habits you have adopted over the years that have improved your life.And also, those things you tried but didn't work, for sharing a mistake may have more value than sharing a success.
So, join us if you're a sharer of wisdom or a seeker of wisdom. Or just like cakes and singing.
