A New Year

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS ALWAYS, THEY NEED TO COME HOME SAFE,,,

repost,

A New Year, a new beginning.

How many will go forward?

Hopefully, healthy and, happy!

How many, will enjoy this gift?

How many, will carry old

baggage to hold themselves

back in doubt and, unhappiness?

Going forward means, you are

alive. Thank Heavens.

You have choices, you have self.

Look at a tree for a moment.

It goes upward in growth,

strength and, beauty.

Think of yourself, as a tree.

sounds odd? not really.

For, if you see yourself as a

beautiful flower, cut for

impression, it's loss is in it's

dying, thrown away.

A New Beginning is for you to

grow with knowledge you carry.

Old baggage should be the cut

flower that dies and is remembered

Wishing you a blessed and happy New Year. I'm going to be the Elm tree in our back yard. It is stately and strong. It grows taller to reach for the sky.
