appy New Year! For many of us, each New Year marks a chance for renewal, and 2018 is no exception. Every New Year brings us challenge, opportunity, and the transformative power of hope. What was yesterday is gone and tomorrow is full of possibilities. We choose our own destiny and the universe allows it to happen. Doctor’s Life Magazine is celebrating our 6th year in Tampa Bay and our 10th as a running publication. We are excited for all we aim to deliver in 2018. “Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties. Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every New Year find you a better person.” – Helen Keller
