Happy New Year 2010!

Good resolutions are simply checks
that men draw on a bank
where they have no account.
Happy New Year.

Time has no divisions to mark its passage; there is never a thunderstorm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.

Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go

In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, never in want.

Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. ~Bill Vaughn

New Year’s ReflectionsLooking back on the months gone by,
As a new year starts and an old one ends,
We contemplate what brought us joy,
And we think of our loved ones and our friends.Recalling all the happy times,
Remembering how they enriched our lives,
We reflect upon who really counts,
As the fresh and bright new year arrives.And when I/we ponder those who do,
I/we immediately think of you.Thanks for being one of the reasonsI'll/We'll have a Happy New Year!
