AMERICAN DREAM
YCCA
W
hile I am a firm believer in the power of positive
thinking, I also realize that it has been an extremely
tough year for many Americans and community families that
once had the American dream. It is a dream that has possibly
faded due to a job loss, or a death of a family member, or an
illness. It is time to start to dream again with a renewed sense
of humility and a continued sense of purpose and dream with
a foundation of quality and not quantity, so let’s spring to our
feet and fly like a flash tear open the shutters and make a dash
opening doors and windows and dive in 2016 with dreams!
If you are like me, you look at every day of the year as an
opportunity to do better than yesterday. It is hard to believe
that 2016 is upon our doorstep already. 2015 was a roller
coaster experience for many in our community and our
attitudes, emotions, plans and mindsets have all been affected
and stress and anxiety levels have been increased.
I would like to ask that each and every one of us continue
to work together to build and construct our community
with keen awareness of all that building involves. I am not
referring to building as in “bricks and sticks”. I am referring
to building in the sense of the words; passion, caring, talking,
understanding, shaping and fostering. Building takes much
thought, energy, care and ideas; however, the investment
is worthwhile. A well built and constructed community
should serve the citizens for many generations and to
actively participate in building helps strengthen and deepen
relationships and the community. Buildings constructed

only by professionals are only commodities. Buildings
constructed only by well-intentioned but unskilled owners
tend to be shoddy. This is a time for collaboration between our
governments and citizens to construct well built communities
that we can call home, be safe and feel secure.
Let’s all look to the future. Life brings changes and we must
all develop and encourage a life of gratitude. We are all
partners in our community and our circumstances will change
at some time or another. We live in one of the most generous
communities on the planet, so let’s all continue to give the
“Christmas Spirit” throughout everyday of 2016 and beyond.
YCCA is extremely proud to be a part of this community and
work for you. Let’s all work toward dismissing suspicion
and replacing it with trust. Let’s forgo a grudge. Let’s try
to understand. Let’s appreciate. Let’s be kind. Let’s decry
complacency. With this we will be able to build and construct
a “home” we are all proud of. 2016 is a brand new beginning
and with this Christmas Season, let’s live joy, honesty and
meaning.
Christmas never fails to bring to mind the divine words
“Peace on earth and good will towards men.” Along with
the entire YCCA Board of Directors, and our members we
send you loving and heartfelt wishes for a most enjoyable
holiday. May the year ahead bring you deep satisfaction and
happiness and let’s all remember to Dream.
