New Year

New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights.  ~Hamilton Wright Mabie


Every man should be born again on the first day of January.  Start with a fresh page.  Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.  ~Henry Ward Beecher


We have faith in this year that positive changes happen, good plans are being implemented and Goals are accomplished!

We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.  ~Hilaire Belloc


Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.  ~Benjamin Disraeli

Xmas

May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through!  ~Author Unknown


Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976
