Happy New Year to everyone! Let’s hope it’s a good one. Now that the champagne bottle is empty and the noise-makers have bleated their last toot, here’s a few thoughts and resolutions that caught my eye–hope you enjoy them as much as I did. (Gotta love the world-wide web. Where credit is due, click on the pic to learn the source. Back with more stories in two weeks.)
“We were still twirling around the tiny parking lot when the neighbors screamed ‘Happy New Year’. Unfortunately we weren’t sober enough to realize that was our cue to call it a night. Josh had a new beer in his hands, Danny was eating the last hot dog and Darren and I were still dancing when the cops showed up.”
— Kaitlin Scott, For Danny
“Kindness, kindness, kindness. I want to make a New Year’s prayer, not a resolution. I’m praying for courage.” — Susan Sontag
“New Year’s Day: Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.” — Mark Twain
“New Year’s Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly . . . provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.”
— James Agate
“Do, or do not. There is no ‘Try’.”
— Yoda
“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”
– Abraham Lincoln
Waiting for another memory. Hope all is well.
