Hey you, how you getting on, not heard from you in a while xxx
My face is a mask I order to say nothing
about the fragile feelings hiding in my soul.
Native American Indian Quote
A NEW YEAR PRAYER FOR MY DEAR GTS FRIENDS
Thank you for giving me this brand New Year ahead.
Help me to live the way I should as each new day I tread.
Give me gentle wisdom that I might help a friend.
Give me strength and courage so a shoulder I might lend.
The year ahead is empty; help me fill it with good things.
Each new day filled with joy and the happiness it brings.
Please give the leaders of our world a courage born of peace
That they might lead us gently and all the fighting cease.
Please give to all upon this earth a heart that’s filled with love;
A gentle happy way to live with blessings from above.
Happy New Year!
Twas the day after Christmas, and all through the house
nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
at the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvellous meals I'd prepared;
the gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
and the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
and prepared once again to do battle with dirt--
I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"
So -- away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
"Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie -- not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread or pie;
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore--
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet!

THINKING OF YOU
♥ X ♥ ♥ X ♥ ♥ X ♥ ♥ X
Life’s meaning seems to go
When death comes to pay it’s call
And there seems to be no end
To the shadows that then fall.
Yet please know within your heart
That your loved one still lives on,
And that they’ll always walk beside you
Until the moon and stars are gone.
So may it comfort you to know
That they’re beside you every day
And that they follow in your footsteps
As you continue on life’s way.
