HAPPY NEW YEARS 2011

We've seen the passing of another year.

For many it's been filled with pain and tears.

We've seen our loved ones in their decline

.We've had to accept that they won't be fine.
Some of us had to say good bye,

To a long time loved one, and we've all cried.

But there have been times in this past year,

That certain events have brought us cheer.
There are so many friends that are on the list,

And I know there's names I will have missed.

But better friends I could not have bought.

And here is just a New Year's thought.
If it were possible that a wish could come true,

Then this is my New Year's wish for you.

May the coming year be full of hope,

And may we be given the strength to cope.
Let courage, faith and patience abound.

And let us pray that a cure will be found.

And now at the close of another year,

My friends, I wish you a Happy New Year.

2011 IS A Different World!

A college student at a recent football game challenged a senior citizen sitting next to him, saying it was impossible for their generation to understand his."You grew up in a different world," the student said loud enough for the whole crowd to hear. "Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, man has walked on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars, we even have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing ... and uh...."Taking advantage of a pause in the student's litany, the old geezer said, "You're right. We didn't have those things when we were young; so we invented them, you little twit! What are YOU doing for the next generation?"

May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, your gastro-enterologist, your urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist, your plumber and the I.R.S.
May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs and your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise. May New Year's Eve find you seated around the table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends. May you find the food better, the environment quieter, the cost much cheaper, and the pleasure much more fulfilling than anything else you might ordinarily do that night. May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues. May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until you finish dinner, may the commercials on TV not be louder than the program you have been watching, and may your check book and your budget balance - and include generous amounts for charity. May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day to your spouse, your child, your parent, your siblings; but not to your secretary, your nurse, your masseuse, your hairdresser or your tennis instructor. And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God's love in every sunset, every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every lover's kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.

Again today confusion and pain are the main things going on with Mom..

"God Bless and comfort please, draw her (and all the others that are sick,

dying, hurting, grieving) closer to You and Your love and compassion.

Grant them grace, mercy, inner peace, and blessings..

Above all, THY WILL BE DONE. Thank You in Jesus name,amen."

our family had a wonderful get together last

night to celebrate the upcoming year..

NORMAN'S BAND PLAYED LAST NIGHT, AND DID A TERRIFIC JOB..

"THANKS GUYS" (even with his sore throat, he did great)

the kids all had a blast, and played pop pong (*.*)

and the adults had a lot of laughter and happiness!

THANKS GOD, WE ALL NEEDED A WONDERFUL BREAK,

EVEN IF IT WAS ALL TO SOON OVER WITH.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I PRAY IN SO MANY WAYS, THAT IT WILL BE BETTER THAN

LAST YEAR, FOR EVERYONE, (I am sure that everyone had some

hard times last year).. THIS YEAR, I PRAY IT'S BETTER....

BEGINNING WITH GOD'S LOVE, (and love for GOD)

HEALTH, HAPPINESS, INNER PEACE (so important),

GRACE, JOBS FOR EVERYONE(that are actually decent jobs),

SAFETY, LOVE OF OTHERS, AND THE ABILITY TO "OVERCOME"

GRIEF, PAIN, SORROW, DISEASE, (whatever the task may be)

AND THAT LOVE WILL CONSUME EACH OF US THE WAY GOD

PLANNED FOR IT TO, AND WE ALL LIVE PLEASINGLY TO HIM.
