A Blessing for the New Year

 Here’s to the outgoing year, 2010...
May the many wonderful moments (and there were many)live on in our memories eternally,
and may we learn the lessons gifted in those troubling times
that will make us stronger and better than ever.  Here’s to 2011!
For each and every one of you,
may it be mapped with clearly marked paths
leading toward the fulfillment of your Spirits' longing.  In this coming new year,
let us focus on our oneness and work toward each others dreams,
and yes,
let’s all try to go with the flow a little more
and stress a little less.  And most important,
 ( I lift and wave my glass around to encompass the whole of the Earth and her creatures)
here’s to all of you!
 Let us love and respect and care for one other in the new year
as I appreciate all of you now.
 Let’s focus on our common goals
and choose to overlook our differences(minor annoyances in the bigger picture)
to create mutual happiness and contentment for each other.  Here’s to 2011... let's enjoy the journey!May you be blessed!

A Meditation for the New Year

In the New Year may we remember
Today’s decisions shape tomorrow’s outcomes

That living each moment the best we can
Creates a harmonious life.

May we remember
By holding fast to integrity
Others see we are trustworthy.

When times are rough
May we remember to turn in
To our close and ready Source of comfort.

On New Year’s and every day
May we remember that each new moment
Can be a fresh beginning.

And may we especially remember that
Personal peace preserved leads to
World peace, well deserved
