I wish each of you a year blessed with good health, much happiness, love fulfilled, and prosperity. Here are two quotes to help you celebrate.

Edgar A. Guest
A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.

And....particularly given the current state of our economy:

Irish toast
In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, never in want.

May I personally add to that one, that should you be in want or need, that there would be a helping hand to bless you in love and friendship with needs fulfilld as I have been blessed.

Hugs and prayers for safety for all our troops and peace for all the world, and in your hearts for your loved ones in harm's way.
