Happy New Dear ... este Year!

I didn't gain a single pound after attending last year's Christmas season's parties...I gained FOUR!!! I do hope though that's not all I gained last year. I hope had gained (or still hope to gain) ...

a more positive outlook in life
appreciation for life's detours
forgiveness
a charitable and forgiving heart
a better understanding of family, friends
courage to pursue my dreams
a more accepting and tolerant nature
patience
confidence to take on life's challenges
God's grace and wisdom

I hope I had given as much as (hopefully more than) I had gained. May this new year bring forth a renewed hope...and the chance to do things right, if not better than just right. God bless us all!

Happy New Year! (Happy New DEAR to me!)
