Hmmmm
A new year-winter, spring, summer and fall,
Around we go again through the circle of the seasons,
365 days round and round, 24 hours at a time,
And on this day we promises we’ll keep-or not.
Will we consciously make a choice,
To do something good every day?
Or will each day just pass,
Left in the haze of time, insignificant?
What will stand out, what will be lost?
And what will, in truth, be gained?
In those losses and gains,
What will truly matter?
Will we remember to see what is beautiful,
In the midst of what may not seem so?
Will we decide to make everything matter,
Just a bit more than before?
We drank a simple toast to this, the new year,
To simply be better, to see the depth and miracle,
Of each day as it goes round and round.

Good advice for anyone: see the beauty everywhere around you. Like the Bellamy brothers sang, 'There's a reason for the sunshine sky...

Fine and worthy sentiments to apply each and every day. Thank you, Karen. Love and best wishes to you,

peace be with you
hmmmm ... i feel a bit dizzy ...
i would imagine that you with the loss of your sister will be better able to pick out the 'beauty in the midst of what may not seem so'...know what to cherish and how to touch each minute of our much too brief life with love and appreciation.
i hope that each day softens your acute sorrow and this new year brings the joy of remembering your times together...pat
Peace, love and light,

A simply marvelous New Year Outlook.
Wonderful poem. But we all know what happens. We keep these resolutions about appreciation and within a month tend to forget unfortunately. May 2011 be better than 2010.
