Happy New Year

Before you flip your calendar
To start a New Year bright
Reflect for just a moment on
The year that ends tonight.

Each joy and every heartache
Has been etched into your heart
But in a few short hours you
May make a brand new start.

As you review the days and weeks
That simply seemed to fly
Would you say fortune smiled on you
Or did she pass you by?

Since it's not wise to dwell upon
Those days that made you cry
The thing to do is set your sights
And aim right at the sky.

Forget those tears and sorrow
As you bid the old "Adieu"
And welcome in the New Year
It's dawning...just for you!



New Years is the time for ringing out the old and ringing in the new. It's the time for thinking about last year's boo-boo's and making new resolutions.




The Christmas Bears - Holly and Nick - have made their new year's resolutions. Which one will be the most difficult to keep?

Holly most likely will have difficulty with #2 - Cut down on junk food.

And Nick will have to work extra hard on #8 - Less day dreaming. :-)

Granny Nan will be concentrating on #6 - Play often. She definitely needs more fun times in her life. How about you?



Please share your New Year Resolution and it will be added to the list.

To Every Thing There Is A Season

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

May There Be A Season Of Peace
