Happy "New" Year!

Happy New Year!
Start it brand new!
Make no promises,
you can't keep true.
Release those things stress brings.
Get involved with friends who care.
Take a trip, treat yourself, go somewhere;
Change the old dampened atmosphere.
Wake up each day thanking God for life,
when you lay down at night, "Thank Him" twice.
Fulfill your wildest dreams.
Others will get encouraged,
from you they'll gleam!
Forget about the mistakes you've made.
They've already caused you to be delayed.
Build a home, ride a bike,
ever wanted to fly a kite?
Read a book, get a new look.
Prosperity is in the air-
order a larger checkbook.
Respond to positive,
ignore the negative
Go ahead, "don't be afraid to live!"
Convinced yet?
I hope you are.
Cause repeating last year seems kinda bizarre.
This was so fantastic, Deborah. I loved it! And I was just wondering when someone would write something about the New Year--and there you go. You are such a talented writer--Searchwarp has been blessed!May 2009 be your best year ever.SandraThanks Sandra! I'm glad you loved it. Poetry is definitely my way of exhaling. I'm really looking forward to my book release in early 2009. What a way to start a "New Year."A blessed and wonderful one to you.Deborah
Hi Deborah - love it! So well said - and fun to read - I'm keeping this one for when I need a lift. Thanks for doing it - Good Fortune - CherylHi Cheryl,Thank you so much. With all this country has experienced in 2008, we need something every now and then to remind us of the joys still remaining in life.Deborah
Loved it Deborah! This was great. Every year my husband and I do not make resolutiions except to praise the Lord one moment at a time and to stop and smell the roses.God bless you always,Bravo Michelle! I once heard a wise man say, "it's a terrible thing to die and have not lived." In other words, take the time during life to smell the roses.Thank you, and God bless even the more in your New Year.Deborah
