Hello Friend,
It is so hard to imagine that the New Year is just a few hours from now. So much has happened this year around the world; some good & some not so good. However, whatever has happened in your personal life, no matter where you are, you are still here. Isn't that wonderful? Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success: Feel that success. A whole, clear, glorious year lies before you.
In the year to come, you can regain any health or fortune lost and find renewed peace and happiness. So let the past go. Be thankful for where you are, and look forward to 2010 with great expectation and excitement!
Here is a lovely New Year poem for you. Hope you enjoy it.
New Year
As the old year sinks down to Time's ocean,
Stand ready to launch with the new,
And waste no regrets, no emotion,
As the masts and the spars past from view.
Weep not if some treasures go under
And sink in the rotten ship's hold,
That blithe, bonny barque sailing yonder
May bring you more wealth than the old.
For the world is forever improving,
All the past is not worth one today,
And whatever deserves our true loving
Is stronger than death and decay.
Old love, was it wasted devotion?
Old friends were they weak or untrue?
Well, let them sink in mid ocean
And gaily sail on to the new.
Throw overboard toil misdirected,
Throw overboard ill-advised hope,
With aims which, your soul has detected,
Have self as their center and scope.
Throw overboard useless regretting
For deeds which you cannot undo.
And learn the great art of forgetting
Old things that embitter the new.
Sing who will of dead years departed,
I shroud them and bid them adieu,
And the song that I sing, happy hearted,
Is a song of a glorious new!
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Wishing you & Yours a healthy, happy, peaceful, & prosperous New Year!
