Good morning to you!
Happy Friday Eve and Happy New Year’s Ever!
I’m kickin’ this year to the curb!!
Never been so tired of arbitrary decisions in my life.
I hope your job situation worked out for the parties concerned.
I would submit that 2020 doesn’t really measure up to the average — but it won’t deserve its own poem, either ...

A Thought For The Old Year
“Happy New Year!” They all want to say,
With little regard for what’s slipping away,
A year of fond hopes and bright dreams is now gone,
And we only have thoughts of the new ones to dawn.
Take just a moment to think of the past,
The days now gone by that made memories last.
We had all the birthdays. We ate all the cake.
We had great good times and now, goodness sake,
They want to forget it with hardly a nod,
A whole year forgotten. I think that it’s odd.
One day, in our dotage, we’ll all reminisce,
On those “Good Old Days” we’re so willing to miss.
A thought for the old year seems timely tonight,
Its lengthening shadow drifts slowly from sight.
The old year departs with a staggering tread,
As we watch a new year toddle in, in its stead.
It will sleep with the others in a long endless pile,
But I’d like to point out that it went out with style.
There isn’t a doubt that it’s one for the books,
But it’s clearly not one we’d have chosen for looks.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, FReepers and FRiends!
To those who have lost loved ones, you have my heartfelt condolences.
To those who have had new beginnings, congratulations and keep the faith in God and our country.
To those who have been or are ill, may your recovery be quick, or if not, may you will still be able to find gratitude.
And to those who lost more than they thought they could bear, take heart, because you survived to fight another day.
Above all, remember that God is good and trials are there to strengthen us.
So take heart in this New Year!
