Happy New Year ~~

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy,

in whatever situation I may be;

for I have also learned from experience that the

greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon

our dispositions and not upon our circumstances.
Martha Washington (1732-1802)

Ring Out the Old ~~ Ring in the New ~~
We find ourselves at the end of another decade...seems like yesterday
we were approaching 2000.....with all the dire warnings.

The news media, and most of the talking heads were predicating there

was a real good possibility that all the computers around

the world would stop at the stroke of midnight

and, nothing would work as it should.
We were told to prepare, we were advised to make sure

each household had cash on hand, a supply of water,

wood, candles, batteries, gasoline, a pantry stocked with food,

everything to be able to sustain us at home till everything

was back up, and running.
Thankfully we ushered in the new year with no

problem at all, but we here at the Cabin were Alert & Ready. lol

It may be my girl scout background or

my Catholic school education....(Nuns)
but I am a the kind of girl who likes to prepare for the worst
(as best ya can) and, hope and, pray for the best.

My DH not so much....but he does appease me, Bless him.

Any way in what seems like the blink of an eye,

its ten years later, and we are here
ready to Ring in 2010.

My hope is that it comes in quietly

and without much ado.

And as soon as we open our eyes in the morning,

(cause we never make midnight anymore.)
We will greet it with a Grateful Happy Heart

eager to see what this New Year brings.

This time, like all times, is a very good one,

if we but know what to do with it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Best Wishes to You All for a Wonderful Happy New Year, filled
