A New Year 2006........................... 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!
A New Year Morning Wish..................... As the sun is just rising on the morning of another day, the first day of the new year -2006, what can I wish that this day, that this year, may bring to me? Nothing that shall make the world of others poorer, nothing at the expense of others; but just those few things which in their coming do not stop with me but touch me rather, as they pass and gather strength: A few friends who understand me, and yet remain my friends. A work to do which has real value without which the world would feel the poorer. A return for such work small enough not to tax unduly anyone who pays. A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed. An understanding heart. A sight of the eternal hills and unbolting sea, and of something beautiful the individual hand has made. A sense of humor and the power to laugh. A little leisure with nothing to do. A few moments of quiet, silent meditation. The sense of the presence of God. And the patience to wait for the coming of these things, with the wisdom to know them when they come. May this new year be a time for all our GOANETTERS of deep spiritual growth, a time of welcoming our graces and gifts, time for forgiving freely and unconditionally, and a time for growing in virtue and goodness.
