Happy New Year!
Wishing each and every one of you the happiest of New Years! Below is a poem that MaMere sent me, and it is so splendid (of course!) that I really wanted to pass it along to you.
Light and Love
Sister Bridget
A
Wonderful Resolution for the New Year!
What amazing gifts the new year
brings! An entire
year's worth of wonderful
opportunities, given to us
one sunrise at a time. Many
of the moments ahead will
be marvelously disguised as
ordinary days, but each one
of us has the chance to make
something extraordinary out of them.
Each new day is a blank page
in the diary of your life.
The secret of success is in
turning that diary into the
best story you possibly can.
Have pages on understanding
and tales of overcoming hardships.
Fill your story with
enthusiasm, adventure, learning,
and laughter. And make
each chapter reflect time
doing these things:
Follow your dreams. Work hard.
Be kind. Do what you
can to make the door open on
a day that is filled with
inspiration in some special
way. Remember: Goodness
will be rewarded. Smiles will
pay you back.
Have fun. Find strength. Be
truthful. Have faith.
Don't focus on anything you
lack.
Realize that people are the
treasures in life, and
happiness is the real wealth.
Have a diary that describes
how you're doing your best,
and…
the rest will take care of itself.
