Starting fresh

Friends -- as the new year is less than 24 hours away, these thoughts came to mind. I wish you all a happy new year with a fresh start.


 

 
resolutions, or so it seems,
is all we care about --
loosing weight and quitting smokes
and definitely getting out
            to run a mile or maybe more
            we’ll rid ourselves of flab
            we must go earlier to bed
            and vow to eat less fat
vacations must be taken soon,
to places we’ve never been
to visit the mountains or a dune,
those places must be seen.
            promises are made to us
            by no one but ourselves
            prone to fail - without success
            they're soon back on the shelves
a simple thing could change so much,
one easy keeps through-out the year:
no diet, exercise and such
but rather just be sincere.
            Smile a lot and nod your head
            be kind to the stranger in line
            swallow pride – and praise instead
            you can do that in oh-nine.

 

 


... and read more great books!!

It will be excellent to do that, Rebecca, and this is right in line with my own intention for 2009 -- to do whatever I can to encourage people to play well together and kick those silly ego-trips to the curb. We can do this :-)

Any day I wake up breathing or not sick is a great day for me! (Seems another good day is in store for me! :) ) Another year means another day I've lived; not bad for someone who wasn't expected to live the day when she was born nearly 50 years ago!! :) I consider a new year a special gift from God! :) I pray 2009 is a good year for not only msyelf, but for my twin sister, my family. I pray it is a better year for all of us, and everyone!! So let me wish you a very happy New Year, may your 2009 be fine (the bsst EVER!!)!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. ;D
