Happy New Year ~ 2016

January 1, 2016 by Patricia Sands 16 Comments

Here we go again, my friends!

Each New Year brings with it fresh hope and gives us renewed confidence and courage for a fresh start. 2016 has arrived  filled with opportunities and promise.

Keep the good memories of years past, learn from loss and mistakes, and move forward, always hoping people everywhere may live with the peace and respect we all deserve. 

Here is my wish for each of us:

This Irish blessing says it all:

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!  

Happy New Year!
