" As you go through the days of the year ahead, busy with all the responsibilities the world has placed upon you, remember to keep the truly special things in mind. Keep things in perspective: Work, play, learning, living. Have happiness as a part of your priorities ! Be creative and aware and wonderfully alive. And always remember where to find your smile. New journeys await you in the coming year. Decisions lie ahead, wondering what you will do, where you will go, how you will choose when the choices are yours. Work for the ability to choose wisely, to prosper, to succeed. Let the roads that you travel take you to beautiful places, and have the faith it takes to achieve and aspire. I hope your tomorrows take you to the summit of your goals, and your joys take you even higher. " ~ Douglas Pagels ~   "A New Year is here once more, With its visions of future promise. The old ways passed by, And a fresh start, there for the taking. All is optimism; Gloom is gone! Looking forward to the innocent blossoming of spring Blooming into a youthful, balmy summer. But the world does not change. That beautiful vision of new cleanness Comes from within; From the hope for a better world, And a desire to let the old ways go." - Phil Harris -   May all your dreams come true this year. We wish you love, peace, joy, health and lots of good things. Have a wonderful and blessed New Year ! Hugs from Irene, Julio, Nicholas, Lully, Sophie and Cleo.   " Dreams can come true if you take the time to think about what you want in life Get to know yourself Find out who you are Choose your goals carefully Be honest with yourself Always believe in yourself Find many interests and pursue them Find out what is important to you Find out what you are good at Don't be afraid to make mistakes Work hard to achieve successes When things are not going right don't give up - just try harder Give yourself freedom to try out new things Laugh and have a good time Open yourself up to love Take part in the beauty of nature Be appreciative of all that you have Help those less fortunate than you Work towards peace in the world Live life to the fullest Create your own dreams and follow them until they are a reality." ~ Susan Polis Schutz ~   Happy New Year !!!     :: Back to the New Year Menu :: This page was created on: December 23, 2001.
