Happy New Years!

Good Morning & Happy New Years!
Hope you had a wonderful New Years Eve and are excited about all the wonderful possibilities of 2007. Here is the poem I mentioned a few posts ago. Print it out and place it where you can read it daily. Written by Christian Larson, an author that the respected Oliver Wendell Holmes called one of the greatest writers of his day nearly 100 years ago, it was made famous by the Optmist Club which made it their "Optimist's Creed."

Promise yourself to be an optimist in 2007, if for no other reason, than that it makes you so much healthier-so much more at peace with yourself and with the world in general.

May you have a great day,
Donna

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget about the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear; and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.----Christian Larson
