I resolve to...
I can keep my resolution.
My other resolutions are to get
organized at my desk, my room,
my ... well, you get it.
I believe we all have the power
to make ourselves better, but we
must take the first step. That’s
always the hardest one to take.
I like what Louise Hay said:
“Be willing to take the first
step, no matter how small it is.
Concentrate on the fact that you
are willing to learn. Absolute
miracles will happen.”
There is a wonderfully life
changing motivational speaker,
best selling author Tony
Robbins, who offered five points
titled, “How to Have the Best
Year Ever!” Here they are:
1. Always keep learning. You
must feed your mind
2. Stay physically active. I
work out each day to keep
my mind sharp and anxiety
under control
3. Identify a person who already
has what you want. Everyone
needs a role model.
4. Take action, but be willing
to change course.
Sometimes you must do
things differently. Never
fear change
5. Give back. Helping others
makes our lives better. Life
is about “we,” not “me.”
Robbins added to his list: Start
the new year on the right foot by
beginning with one simple new
behavior.
What’s remarkable about a new
year is that it is a new opportunity,
but I never forget to be grateful
for what I have.

As 2018 ends, let me thank
all of the good people who made
this year beautiful for me. I that you will be blessed with
a year filled with good health,prosperity, love and abundant
happiness. And remember,as
written in the Bible, “It is more
blessed to give than to receive.”
Impressed by the Panorama
This weekend I had the
opportunity to visit the
Queens Museum with
new friends who live in other
states, and my dear friend
Tamar Hirschl Snyder.
The museum houses within
it a remarkable, football
field-sized room featuring The
Panorama, a to-scale model of
the five boroughs built for the
1964 World’s Fair as a celebration
of New York City. It took
a team of 100 people working
with model makers Raymond
Lester & Associates over a
three-year period to construct
it. It’s an exact 1:1200th geographic
model of the five boroughs
in which one inch equals
100 feet. Most remarkable!
My guests were in awe of the
site of over 895,000 buildings
and 100 bridges, and adored
watching little planes flying
into and out of LaGuardia
Airport as we walked around
the Panorama’s glass balcony.
Tamar was able to identify
her building in Manhattan’s
West Side. The museum offers
an opportunity to “Adopt A
Building”; you can “purchase”
any building with a donation
to ensure its upkeep. The purchase
even comes with a “deed”
to remind you of your property!
Tamar, an artist herself,
delighted in visiting the
Queens Museum’s exhibition
hall, donated by y her late
late
husband Harold
arold
Snyder.
The museum
m
is now offering
g
the 8th annual
Queens
International
Show, open
through Feb.
24. It’s a celebration
.eens
around
who
of Queens
artists from around
the globe who
brought their talents
to our borough.

But my favorite
exhibit is still the extraordinary
works in the Tiffany Neustadt
Gallery, created by the Tiffany
Studios once located in Corona.
Spectacular pieces of Tiffany
jewelry were recently added to
the exhibit.
My enormously impressed

kept asking
me why

know about
the
Panorama,
remarking that it’s
the best thing
they saw in
their visit to
our great city.
Have you
th
visited the Queens Museum? It’s
opposite the Unisphere in the
beautiful Flushing Meadows-
Corona Park, next door to the
Billie Jean King National Tennis
Center. Put it on your resolutions
list, and resolve to make it
there this year!

Resolutions, resolutions,
resolutions: That’s what
comes with a new year.
Okay, I admit that mine have
begun the same way for decades
- I’ve resolved to lose weight and
I say it again this year. “I’m taking
control of what I eat.”
It’s especially important to me
this year because I will have a
photographer shooting my first
grandson’s life changing event, his
bar mitzvah in March. Hopefully,
the magical software called
Photoshop can miraculously take
pounds off, but I will see how long
