Happy New Year 2012
Another new year is upon us. It's hard to believe we are saying goodbye to 2011. It's time to refresh, re-energize, and begin to truly hold on to our special gift of life. Even when things get hard, we must realize, that life is a gift, even when the going gets tough. Raise your glass to life in the new year.
Raise Your Glass to
Life
The time has come to raise our glass,
to say goodbye, to another year's past.
From all of the days, weeks and months
we have lived through,
It's time to put it all behind us, and
build new memories that will ring true.
Hold on to those moments that meant the
most.
Store them in your heart and raise your
glass for a meaningful toast.
Pray that life will bring you good
health, keep your family and friends safe,
and bring happiness, as you take on
another new year with a full embrace.
A new year gives us a chance for a
fresh start,
and a reason to stay close to those
that we love the most,
without the fear of ever having to
part.
Life is sacred, a real gift that we
should always care for.
While some days may feel long, time is
actually quite short-
It's never quite long enough, as we
find ourselves wishing for more.
Before the chiming clock strikes
midnight,
Look in the blue sky above for those
first stars that shine oh so bright.
Make a wish, and hold it close to your
heart.
When we wish upon a star, it has been
said that those dreams can come true.
A new year.
A new beginning.
Another reason for living.
Raise your glass.
Give thanks that God has given you the
gift of life...
Living in all of his glory, nothing
else shall ever surpass.
