Once More I Write 2013

I wrote this 4 years ago but believe it still applies today.
Something to strive for, to accomplish.

Once more I write 2013. Still strange and scary in some way.

Gone, lost, done is the 2012 year.
Whatever I had wanted to accomplish in that year
I did – or – I didn’t.
It has ended now and I can’t change one bit of it.
Regrets? Yes.

Now I must move on, make this new year the best that I can.
Will I have setbacks and heartache?
Most likely.
But I know I will also have experiences that will take me to the top.
Joy, happiness, success and most of all, love.
This I know because I will make it so.

Muhammad Ali died yesterday
Such a glorious life gone
Gone yesterday.

We never met yet I know
He did so much to make my world
His world a better place to stay
Muhammad Ali died
He died yesterday.

May you soar like that butterfly
May you sting, sting just like a bee
For in my heart I see, your soul, your heart
Now rise, soar oh so gracefully
Muhammad Ali.

Once More I Write 2013

Once more I write 2013. Still strange and scary in some way.

Gone, lost, done is the 2012 year.

It has ended now and I can’t change one bit of it.
Regrets? Yes.
Devastating? Most certainly.
Truly heart-warming? Yes, and much more.

This I know because I will make it so.
This is my plan. My resolution for this new year.

Come join me, make it your best year yet. Filled with happiness, love and those wonderful experiences that will carry you thru any dark days that do occur.
And be assured, they will happen.
But change that negative, find something positive in even those dark moments.

Make the world a better place because you were here and chose to do so.

Shall we start?
