Another year has passed and
we're all a little older.
Last summer felt hotter and
winter seems much colder.
I rack my brain for happy thoughts,
to put down on my pad,
But lots of things that come to mind
that make me kind of sad.
There was a time not long ago
when life was quite a blast.
Now I fully understand
about "Living in the Past"
We used to go to weddings,
football games and lunches.
Now we go to funeral homes,
and after-funeral brunches.
We used to have hangovers,
from parties that were gay.
Now we suffer body aches
and while the night away.
We used to go out dining,
and couldn't get our fill.
Now we ask for doggie bags,
come home and take a pill.
We used to often travel
to places near and far.
Now we get sore buttocks
from riding in the car.
We used to go out shopping
for new clothing at the Mall
But, now we never bother...
all the sizes are too small.
That, my friend is how life is,
and now my tale is told.
So, enjoy each day and live it up...
before you're too darn old!

Good Morning !
It won’t be long now and we’ll be saying Happy New Year. I have another nice long weekend coming up. Thank the dear Lord! I’m not going to be doing much partying in the way of celebrating the New Year, but I’ll be enjoying it for sure.
Another year is almost gone and I’ll not be sad to see it go. A new one is waiting just ahead and I’m hoping for a much brighter one indeed. There have been lots of Joys and Sorrows for me in 2007 as I know there have been for many of you too.
That seems to be the way of life. It’s just like a roller coaster and I’m hanging on for the ride. I’m going to rejoice in the blessings and leave the sorrows in the past where they belong. Today is the gift ! Unwrap it!
It is FRIDAY and I just know it’ll be a great day!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The New Year lies before you
like a spotless tract of snow
Be careful how you tread on it
For every mark will show.
May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart!
