CHAPTER 12, PAGE 31

GOOD BYE 2006

Don't Look Back

As you travel through life there are always those times when decisions just have to be made, when the choices are hard and solutions seem scarce and the rain seems to soak your parade!

There are some situations where all you can do is to simply let go and move on, gather courage together and choose a direction that carries you toward a new dawn.

So pack up your troubles and take a step forward. The process of change can be tough. But think about all the excitement ahead, if you can be stalwart enough!

There could be adventures you never imagined just waiting around the next bend and wishes and dreams just about to come true in ways you can't yet comprehend!

Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new interests, as you challenge your status quo and learn there are so many options in life, and so many ways you can grow!

Perhaps you'll go places you never expected and see things that you've never seen, or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds and wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you'll find warmth, affection and caring, a "somebody special" who's there to help you stay centered and listen with interest to stories and feelings you share.

Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends are supportive of all that you do and believe that whatever decisions you make, they'll be the right choices for you!

So keep putting one foot in front of the other and taking your life day by day. There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road.

Don't look back, you're not going that way!

GOOD MORNING ALL !

New Years Eve is here ! Where did the year go too? It flew by so fast I hardly remember all that happened. Thankfully it’s all recorded here in my journal. If it’s not here in this one it is in one of the others…I have 4 of them and my web site which right now needs updating.

We are off to church in a little while and I’ll be saying a special New Year prayer for all of you. May this new year be the best ever for all of you !

I am really looking forward to what this year might bring my way and I am so thankful for the blessings I’ve received in the past one.

Thought For Today

We mark ends and we make beginnings and, in all, we praise God for the grace and mercy that fill our days.

Remember us, 0 God; from age to age be our comforter. You have given us the wonder of time, blessings in days and nights, seasons and years. Please fill us with peace and clear our minds to prepare for a new year. Help us enjoy our friends and families. Unite us with Your grace and love. make this year one we will not forget.

A prayer for the New Year

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

May hope, love, and warmth be in your heart's possessing, and may the New Year bring you and yours many blessings.

MA

Happy new year.  The photos were lovely, shame your batteries went dead.  It is no wonder it is so warm in the uk at the moment, our weather usually follows yours.  When we hear of a really bad cold spell with snow we know that in a week or two it will turn up here, so keep the sun shining i'm saving loads on  my fuel bills, LOL!

Oh I loved the pics of the park and the little hiking trail and bridge.  That house sure has a view, I'm thinking.  Nice place to live (until a bad storm) - LOL!  Your grass is so green there.  Here is is brown with splotches of green only.  Looks like what it looks like here in early March.  LOL  Happy New Year to you!!!!!
