I wish you Health

So you may enjoy each day in comfort

I wish you the Love of friends & family
And Peace within your heart

I wish you the Beauty of nature
that you may enjoy the work of God

I wish you Wisdom to choose priorities
for those things that really matter in life

I wish you Generosity so you may share
All good things that come to you

I wish you the best of everything
that you well deserve.


A New Year's Prayer by Charlotte Auselmo

Thank you Lord for giving me
the brand New Year ahead
help me live the way I should
as each new day I tread

Give me gentle wisdom
that I might help a friend
give me strength & courage
so a shoulder I might lend

The year ahead is empty
help me fill it with good things
each new day filled with joy
and the happiness it brings

Please give the leaders of our world
a courage born of peace
that they might lead us gently
and all the fighting cease

Please give to all upon this earth
a heart that's filled with love
a gently happy way to live
with your blessing from above.....


May you have a year that when we gather on the CUTE site - we can say - this was the best year, ever. Unconditional Love, Shirlene and Rick, too

Dearest Shirlene: What a beautiful New Year wish and an awesome New Year Prayer. You continually amaze me with your strength in light of what obstacles have been placed in your way. My wish for 2011 is for you and Rick to have a healthier year. The poem "Footprints in the Sand" comes to mind and I leave you with the last line "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."
Blessings my dear
Love and hugs
Cindy B.

News Years Eve has been & gone , its 2.02pm News Years day here, how time flys.
I hope everyone has a better year this year ,than the last one.
So far I found a missing sm saucepan (3") in the bottom of the dishwasher -been lost for a few weeks.Talk about being blind.
After a few weeks of not being able to get into the shed because husband has lost the padlock key ,I came up with a solution which he laughed at but it worked. Now we have access to the bolt cutters but neither of us has the strength to use them to cut off the padlock so we can put a new one one ,even though I oiled them.Husband had a pacemaker inserted a week before Christmas & must be careful of what he does for awhile & I am just weak. But things are hopefully beginning to improve

I symphatise with you. I had a melmine plate stock at the bottom of my favorite pot for three days. Couldn't find my suction cup, I was tempted to use a plunger, Yuck!!! I was helpless. I let it soak in sudsy water, to my surprise, it floated to the top this morning.
Happy New Year!!! Miracles, happen!

Ask a Friend for help. Most friends get upset if you don't ask when it is needed. Don't let hubby do it. Pride can be a bad thing
