The Essential 'Shot

"These are the contents of my head"

Home Stretch

Monday, December 28, 2009

As 2009 winds down (thank The Maker!) and we turn our gaze to 2010 and the new adventures it promises I wish you, dear reader, the very best of everything, in such measure that you will never want for anything.

Someone once said, "Your Merry Christmas may depend on what others do for you. But your Happy New Year depends on what you do for others." Make 2010 a VERY Happy 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

"Resolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment." ~Sydney Smith

"“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.” ~Bill Vaughn

Who knows what Syd and Edith were referring to, but I'm glad that there is blogging, so that I could blog and have lovely, wonderful, caring folks like your good selves to share my ramblings and whingings with.

and I'm glad for you and Ms Mel, that you are. . .
