Welcome 2011



Another fresh new year is here …

Another year to live!

To banish worry, doubt, and fear,

To love and laugh and give!



This bright new year is given me

To live each day with zest …

To daily grow and try to be

My highest and my best!



I have the opportunity

Once more to right some wrongs,

To pray for peace, to plant a tree,

And sing more joyful songs!





William Arthur Ward, 1921-1994

American Author and Poet

  3. Happy New Year, Diva! My word for 2011 is a phrase, "Faith Not Fear". You and Max Lucado helped me focus. xo
