Happy New Year!

A new year is exciting for me. I guess it was because my family had rather big celebrations during this time of year -- and had such good fellowship. One thing I remember that helped end the "old" year on a good note was the warning given by my maternal grandmother. She warned that how ever one ended the old year, they could be sure that the new year would begin the same way, and keep being that way for months on end. With this warning, you can be sure that we all did our best to end the old year being happy, truthful and with good plans. We didn't want any of the old year's "bad" getting into our lives. A good warning, don't you think? So, on this note and with this warning in mind, I hope all of you have a New Year full of love, goodness, health and good times. God bless you.
