~A Brand New Year for us All~

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called "Opportunity" and its first chapter is New Year's Day.

We meet today
To thank Thee for the era done,
And Thee for the opening one.

~John Greenleaf Whittier~

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~

~*~

Resolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment.

~Sydney Smith~

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown. And he replied: Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way.

~ Minnie L. Haskins~

A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.

 ~Edgar A. Guest~

In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, never in want.

~Irish toast ~

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

It is a Brand New Year for us all! 

I Love What Edith Lovejoy Pierce said and it Bares Repeating:

"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. 

We are going to put words on them ourselves. 

The book is called "Opportunity" 

and its first chapter is New Year's Day."
