Another fresh new year is here. Another year to live! To Banish worry, doubt and fear, to love and give

Love is more than a noun-it is a verb; it is more than a feeling-it is caring, sharing, helping, sacrificing.

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends... Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

A friend is one who joyfully sings with you when you are on the mountaintop, and silently walks beside you through the valley.

Optimism is a seed sown in the soil of faith; pessimism is a seed hoarded in the vault of doubt.

Real optimism sees the negatives but accentuates the positive.

Real optimism is aware of problems but recognizes the solutions, knows about difficulties but believes they can be overcome, sees the negatives but accentuates the positives, is exposed to the worst but expects the best, has reason to complain but chooses to smile.
