Happy Spring Festival to any Chinese viewers! Today is the first day of the Year of the Rooster. Wishing you money in your purses, love in your hearts, family in your homes, luck in your future, and wisdom in your minds
Happy New Year’s Everyone!
31 Dec“Life goes by so very fast, my dears, and taking the time to reflect, even once a year, slows things down. We zoom past so many seconds, minutes, hours, killing them with the frantic way we live that it’s important we take at least this one collective sigh and stop, take stock, and acknowledge our place in time before diving back into the melee. Midnight on New Year’s Eve is a unique kind of magic where, just for a moment, the past and the future exist at once in the present. Whether we’re aware of it or not, as we countdown together to it, we’re sharing the burden of our history and committing to the promise of tomorrow.” ~ Hillary DePiano

1 JanThe two quotes reflecting my goals for the new year:
“To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.”
**Buddha
Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
**Jonathan Edwards
The Joy of Childhood
31 DecChildish giggles fill the house,
As tickling games are carried out.
Cars are driven with humming noises,
Dollies talk with girlish voices.
Girls were purses, hats, and skirts,
Boys ride horses, kicking their boots.
Legos and Blocks build castles and towers,
Or even a fortress against enemy powers.
Imaginary dragons and knights come alive,
Damsels and princess’s are rescued by guys.
The earth becomes lava or maybe a flood,
Pies and cakes are soon made out of mud.
A good game of tag brings smiles to faces,
Trees are discovered to be awfully good bases.
My wish for us all in the coming new year,
Is that dragons and ogres are the worst of our fears.
I hope that you keep all your childhood dreams,
And remember forever you’re a king or a queen.
I hope we all have a sorrow free, joy filled New Year, and that each of us views the coming days with a child’s excitement. May we find a table on which to sit through the floods and volcanoes of life. May we find a way to make a pie out of the mud. And may there always be a good tree against which to rest. But most of all, may we each find a sticky hug and kiss at the end of the day. Happy New Year to everyone!
