"New Year's Wishes"

             "HAPPY NEW YEAR"
    As the clocks second hand slowly ticks close to twelve o'clock and New Year's Eve becomes January 1st, we wish each other "Happy New Year".........  What do we really mean? ......
As the clock strikes twelve,  last year turns immediately into the next, the mere mention of this greeting evokes not only thoughts of the years gone by, but of the future that lay before us.......Some of us celebrate by a sip of champagne, lot's of hugs, timely glances, and singing "Auld Lang Syne.".......This song was written by Robert Burns in 1741, but was not published until 1796, long after he died......What does "Auld Lang Syne" mean.......It literally translates from old Scottish dialect and means "Old Long Ago" or simply put....."The Good Ole Days"..........The serious message of this song is that the past is important.....We shouldn't forget it......It is a reminder of the people in our lives now , but also those we knew that have passed......The New Year marks the continuance of our journey in this world, with renewed faith, and our hope of a better year with positive promise....The future is good.....no matter what!            
 New Year's Eve night is a time spent with reflection for sure , but New Year's Day brings the awareness of another chance for a new beginning..........

    "SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT AND NEVER BROUGHT TO MIND? SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT , AND DAYS OF AULD LANG SYNE?"


For those who wait up to bring in the New Year......When the big clock hits 11:59:50 and the countdown begins, with glasses raised high,  all hearts pounding almost in tune, for a moment, when time seems to stand still, as we realize another year gone by.......The big ball drops in Time Square....10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...........fireworks explode in the dark winter sky, bursting with a rainbow of color, horns blow, with lingering glances, tight hugs, and a New Year's Kiss, we bring the "Happy New Year" cheers to life....each one of us aware of memories of old, embracing the thought of the new memories to be made.....we will sing......"AULD LANG SYNE"...................

    "FOR AULD LANG SYNE , MY DEAR.........FOR AULD LANG SYNE, ............WE'LL TAKE A CUP OF KINDNESS YET,......FOR AULD LANG SYNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I WISH YOU MANY SHOOTING STARS AND FULL MOONS...........


   
                                                        "HAPPY NEW YEAR WORLD"

PS.....OH YEAH....THANKS FOR THE SONG ROBERT.............

amazing color on a cloud filled day

Rain Drops are falling on my head

A beautiful rose soaking up some raindrops
