Another fresh new year is here...
another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear;
to love and laugh and give!
-William Arthur Ward
Getting ready to celebrate New Year's tonight. I have a tradition: every year at the stroke of midnight I stare up at the twinkling sky and hold my breath and pray a minute of earnest prayers. This year I'll be standing in the snow, peering up toward heaven. I even have hats and silvery star wands, so there's no way can God miss me....
Wishing you the coziest and peaceful of new years, and hoping midnight ushers in a year of more happiness and hope than you can hold.
Wishing you the same & more!!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your travels but know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

ReplyDeleteHAPPIEST HAPPIEST NEW YEAR! I am so excited for all of our newfound prospects...lets kick hiney and dont even take names!!!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with it all girl.
I do this every night when I take the dog for her "walks". Look up at the heavens, that is. It is a wonderful way to begin the new year. Very clear and bright here in east Texas, cold too. Being in town, the stars are a bit dimmer but on nights like this they do come on out.
ReplyDeleteI'm wishing for you a very peaceful and prosperous new year.
