My theme for the New Year is HOPE…. Last February, I wrote about making a difference in schools by increasing access to adults, sports, and arts. I hope that in 2008 parents and educators will increase adolescent access to adults, sports, and arts, giving our future leaders more pathways to hope.

Margaret Greenberg Dear Readers: Thank you for your interest and curiosity in Positive Psychology during our first year of publication. I hope Positive Psychology News Daily has become a new, healthy habit. Tip for the New Year: Forget about New Year resolutions and goals for a moment; instead: What will your life “theme” be for ’08? Remember, our lives really do go in the direction we tell ourselves.
~ Margaret Greenberg

Yea! to Sulynn for mentioning Pollyanna. I once thought of making buttons for the Positive Psychology Summit that said “Pollyanna was a practicing positive psychologist 92 years before the first MAPP program.”

Her story is worth reading — and available online.
