Author unknown

I read this on Sparkpeople this morning, thought it was wonderful and wanted to share it with you. Hope you enjoy it.

I am the New Year ...I am an unspoiled page in your book of time.I am your next chance at the art of living.I am your opportunity to practice what you have learned about life during the last twelve months.All that you sought and didn't find is hidden in me,waiting for you to search it out with more determination.All the good that you tried for and didn't achieve is mine to grant when you have fewer conflicting desires.All that you dreamed but didn't dare to do,all that you hoped but did not will,all the faith that you claimed but did not have -these slumber lightly,waiting to be awakened by the touch of a strong purpose.I am your opportunity to make all things new.I am the New Year! author unknown............

Make it a great day everyone! I'm going to, my sister and I are taking off for the Y to workout this afternoon. First time we've done that since I quit working there. Should be fun, hope the new equipment is there.

In Memory

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!””Gone where?”Gone from my sight.
That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!” there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: ‘Here she comes!”
And that is dying.
Henry Van Dyke

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all uphill. When funds are low and the debts are high. And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit. Rest, if you must, but don't you quit Life is queer with its twists and turns. As everyone of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up though the pace seems slow- you may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far: So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you must not QUIT Author unknown
