A New Book
Today we open the book.
A book of blank pages!
Each day will begin a new chapter.
The book of life and opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.
Vow to do some of the things you’ve always wanted to do.
Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories.
Try not to make a promise you don’t think you can keep.
Call up a forgotten friend.
Walk tall, and smile more. You’ll look ten years younger.
Don’t be afraid to say, ‘I love you’. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world.
Make the year special

Grannymar,
Following your sage advice I will say,”I love you.” Then again following your instructions I will say it once more.”I love you”.
You are someone who keeps me amused or informed or sad almost every day and I really appreciate the effort that you put into your blog.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, GRANNYMAR. ALL THE BEST TO YOU…………

Happy New Year, Grannymar, and I second what Nancy said. You’re a lighthouse (minus the salty ankles).
I literally got a new book for myself this week. A trim 8 x 15cm, it fits in my purse. I’m consecrating it to all the fleeting ideas I’d like to write about someday so maybe I can grow up to be a real blogger like you!
:^)
