Well, another New Year to usher in! Wishing you a year of growth and opportunities with warm, fruitful, and enchanting encounters. Meanwhile, life is 100% better with sparkle in it ...
The Year
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 - 1919)
What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That’s not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our brides, we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that’s the burden of a year.
In life there is always another side. Everything has an opposite: good and bad, light and dark, pleasure and pain, savvy and naive, satisfying and exasperating, exhilarating and boring, up and down, etc, etc. We will encounter each one. As we move through the decades of our lives strive to remember there is always another side.
Forward kindness in 2023, and Happy New Year!๐
