For THE NEW YEAR !!!!

     “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.”

                 Edith Lovejoy Pierce

        “Another fresh new year is here …
         Another year to live!
         To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
         To love and laugh and give!

         This bright New Year is given me
         To live each day with zest …
         To daily grow and try to be
         My highest and my best!

         I have the opportunity
         Once more to right some wrongs,
         To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
         And sing more joyful songs!”

                 William Arthur Ward

     “Every man should be born again on the
      first day of January. 
      Start with a fresh page.
      Take up one hole more in the buckle if
      necessary, or let down one, according to
      circumstances; but on the first of January
      let every man gird himself once more,
      with his face to the front,
      and take no interest in the things that
      were and are past.”

                  Henry Ward Beecher
