I stole this off John's blog HiLife2B (but I don't think he'll mind)
“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”
- William Arthur Ward
Wishing you much joy and many blessings over the coming year - Hilda.

Hey Hilda, I actually DO mind! ha ha, it's okay, I'm kidding. I actually had no idea you came to my blog at all :P. So happy you do though :)
Have a wondrous new year filled with challenges, growth, and happiness every step of the way.

Thanks Baker, Hulbert! I wish I could claim credit for the beauty of the poem or even discovering it, but I can't. It was simple theft! But I like it too :-)
