Happy New Year!

Seasons Greetings!

Ending the old and beginning a new....

It's time for a little reflecting on the year...  I know for myself, that after looking over this past year, I would like to make some changes in this coming year.

Reflection is the only way to move forward!

So... without further adieu lets welcome the...

 Happy New Year

2012! 

Tick Tock

I’m writing this in a state of shock,Watching the clock—tick tock, tick tock,
Advancing, approaching, relentlessly,
A brand new year; Oh, can it be?

 The calendar says the same thing, too;

Time races, vanishes for me; Boo hoo!

No, wait! If time flies, I’m having fun!

A year of fun! It’s gone! It’s done!

I now embrace the blur of time,
Because it simply means that I’m
Too busy with pleasure, joy, delight
To mourn the passing days’ swift flight.

So I’m wishing you fast, happy days,
Pleasuring you in myriad ways,
Filled with happiness and cheer,
Oh Happy, Happy Bright New Year!

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. ~ Benjamin Franklin

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. ~ Hal Borland

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850

For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
~ T.S. Eliot, "Little Gidding"
