New Year's Day....A New Beginning

  

       HAPPY NEW YEAR 

 So another year has bid us farewell. Another year arrives. 

What will this year hold?  Will there be heartaches, sadness, sorrow, joy, contentment, peace, good fortune, prosperity etc...

No one knows what the next twelve months will hold for them. No one can predict what the outcome of the year will be in their lives.  We all 

just hope and pray for the best. 

Today we begin our New Year's resolutions.  With good intentions we start our new regime for the year.  

We wish everyone we see today a happy, healthy, blessed and prosperous new year. Some of us follow old traditions with certain foods eaten on New Year's Day. Many will watch the college football games; a few will try to recuperate from too much celebrating the night before; then there are those who will relax and do nothing special.  

Whatever you do today just remember  it's a new year; a new beginning; new adventures to enjoy; new roads to travel and obstacles to overcome.  

Until next time.....a Blessed, happy, healthy and prosperous 2018 to all.  Thank you for reading my blog and check back again for new postings. 

I wrote the following years ago but it still rings true each year. 

            HAPPY NEW YEAR

How fast the year has come to an     

          end

And we wonder, "where did the 

     time go?"

Past twelve months sped by 

     quickly 

Pondering at year's end, we recall    

     all we had done 

Yet we wonder......"were all our goals accomplished?"

Now another year will begin    

     again....another chance

Each of us makes goals for the 

      next twelve months

Will we follow them through from 

     beginning to end? 

Year after year......good intentions 

     by us are made 

Each objective......carefully 

       thought through

A promise made to our own self, 

       no one else

Resolutions made this New Year's 

       Day.....will we keep?
