                                   Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to my friends and family on Facebook and beyond.

May 2012 bring you happiness.
May your wildest dreams come true.
May your soul be filled with compassion and your heart with love and forgiveness.
May your grudges fade away and be replaced with joy.
May you find humor in the mundane, love in the sadness and  light in the shadows.

May you radiate health.
May you know God and learn from His Word.

May you be blessed with enough of everything you need; enough that you can share your abundance.
May this new year bring you riches, the kind that matter most.
May you find your heart's desire.

Superstitions abound--jingle coins in your pocket at midnight, eat nothing that scratches the ground on New Year's Day, tuck a coin in every purse and pocket so you will never know poverty.  Or learn to be content with what life offers and make the most of it.

May you make friends of your enemies and extend the warmth of your family to your friends.
May you face a challenge without running, face your fears with  dignity and face the truth no matter how painful. May your enemies forgive you. May any unpleasant truth be tempered with compassion.

May you accept love in the spirit it is offered and return it in kind.

May you know the warmth of human touch in the hug of a friend.

May you find something in every day for which to be thankful, something in every day that will make you smile and something in every day that will show you that God lives.

Peace be yours in 2012.
