The Passing Year. Another to Unravell.

~~~*~~~
MAY BE…
~~~

MAY BE…we were supposed to meet the wrong people
before meeting the right one so that,

 when we finally meet the right person,
we will know how to be

grateful for that gift.

MAY BE… it is true that we don't know
what we have until we lose it,

but it is also true that we don't know

what we have been missing until it

arrives.

MAY BE… the brightest future will always
be based on a forgotten past;

after all, you can't go on

successfully in life until you let go

of your past mistakes, failures and

heartaches.

MAY BE… you should hope for enough

happiness to make you sweet enough,

trials to make you strong enough,

sorrow to keep you human, and

enough hope to make you happy.

MAY BE… the happiest of people

don't necessarily have the best of

everything; they just make the most of

everything that comes along their way.

MAY BE… the best kind of friend is

the kind you can sit on a porch and

swing with, never say a word, and then

walk away feeling like it was the best

conversation you've ever had.

MAY BE… happiness waits for all

those who cry, all those who hurt, all

those who have searched, and all those

who have tried, for only they can

appreciate the importance of all the

people who have touched their lives.

MAY BE… you should do something nice

for someone every single day, even if

it is simply to leave them alone.

MAY BE… there are moments in life

when you miss someone -- a parent, a

spouse, a friend, a child -- so much

that you just want to pick them from

your dreams and hug them for real, so

that once they are around you

appreciate them more.

MAY BE… giving someone all your love

is never an assurance that they will

love you back. Don't expect love in

return; just wait for it to grow in

their heart; but if it doesn't, be

content that it grew in yours.

MAY BE…you should dream what you

want to dream; go where you want to

go, be what you want to be, because

you have only one life and one chance

to do all the things you dream of, and

want to do.

May the New Year be made of these realizations

~*~*~

May the New Year bring with it the goodness of life,

the grace of love,

the treasures of Health.

May each day of the year be filled with the Hope

of a

Better Tomorrow.
