HAPPY NEW YEAR

waving all a happy 2014 as I sail on my own luxury cruise through the North Pole, now open for traffic as a result of global warming.
In Hawaii shirt and shorts, sipping a martini, surrounded by a bevy of scantily-clad beauties on the deck as we get ready to see in the New Year to Scots bagpipers and strip-o-gram gals.

Best wishes to everyone for the new year. :)

I’ve been reading through everyone’s statuses on Face book and on here peoples messages etc regarding the year we’re leaving behind and all the emphasis on the coming New Year and it’s got me thinking… the last couple of years haven’t been good for me with my illness loss of a loved ones etc

It isn’t the year that is good or bad…the year just is…it’s a numerical reminder of how what time we have is slipping by us. Guess what I’m trying to say is our “year” on the whole is what we make of it. It has been and will be what we allow it to be. Sure there are aspects of it that are out of our control, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, accident and illness. But most of it grows from our actions or inaction’s, the decisions we make, choices and paths we take. It’s not any part of life that is crap, but how we look at it and most importantly of all WHAT WE LEARN FROM IT.

My personal reflection is: I’ve met some wonderful people, made some new friends, hung on to some very good friends……lost people I love…Helped some, loved many and hurt a few but it is what it is…despite it all I wish you all the best for the coming year
Happy New Year Everyone Stay Safe

I like this statement. Very wellput, angelbabe. It’s only a good year if we heed the lessons, i guess. Some smart alec in some book I may or may not have read said ‘it doesn’t require a great past to have a great future’ – and having a crappy 2013 doesn’t preclude the possibility of 2014 boding a better one. I hope the best for all of you.

2014 just like 2013 ?
