The New Year

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 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!'

by Minnie Louise Harkins 1875-1957

Happy New Year

2008 has lots of promise. As Anne Shirley would say: "Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it. Yet." So far, 2008 looks pretty good...

New Year's Eve

It's New Year's Eve and I haven't made a single New Year's resolution. I won't follow through with them anyway. Of course, I hope that next year is a better year than last year. I hope that I'm happier this year. Healthier. I hope I worry less and laugh more. I hope you all do too.
