Happy New Year to All!

Oh, my! I wanted to get myself one of those headdresses in the shot, but they told me they were flower arrangements! Thought I might look great wearing a Mongolian Princess's priceless hat......at least this is how they look to me.....or maybe Russian style headgear at the time of the Peter the Great.....but they definitely did not use roses!
Everybody says that we change as we grow older, so this might be why I feel like I get nuts by the day.......Today, it doesn't matter! Today it is the day to celebrate the end of something and the beginning of....well, whatever you choose it to be......but may the New Year bring you good health, prosperity and happiness! I think this is what we need to survive the battle with everyday life!
I made a song that goes like this:
Every New Year brings us hopes
of a better 'morrow!
Partying up to the dawn
or meditating in our home,
we welcome it ALL SMILES
and no thoughts to the sorrows.
For this is human nature,
To start again
A'fresh.......
Till END is written over
Each life -
The normal strech.
So....let us party
or meditate this Day,
And let us all keep thinking.....
"This is the way
On New Year's Day!"
