Happy New Year 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012

Our calendar year changed at midnight,
two thousand eleven is now old.
I wonder about the year ahead,
what opportunities will it hold?

I can wish for, hope for, or plan for,
those choices are mine to make.
How is the best way to spend my time
for my mind, body and spirit’s sake?

I’m responsible to look after myself
as well as I know how,
that is a life-long commitment
continuing right here and right now.

What I put into my body
must only be what’s good for me.
My health and well being depend on it,
that’s my first priority.

I need to take time to appreciate
birds, flowers, plants and trees,
mountains, valleys and farmlands,
streams, rivers, lakes and seas.

All those things are good for my soul,
providing some peace of mind,
encouraging me to live life well
and to always be caring and kind.

Happy New Year

Jean Kay
