Another fresh new year is here!
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest!
To daily grow and try to be,
My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!

She said she usually cried at least once each day not because she was sad,
but because the world was so beautiful and life was so short.

I love this poem. I just read it elsewhere too and I love your sketch to go with it.
Beautiful words and beautiful image! Love it.
I like this image. Clandestine is fantastic too…
I hereby resolve to embrace bi-lateral symmetry wherever it can be found
Beautiful, fragile, ice-like and magical. Thanks for looking in while I’ve been off puppy training. It really does take up all your time!
Wow, you’ve done it again! You’ve stolen my breath away. This has elements of many different things (art nouveau, Hokusai, filigree) and yet it is completely its own. The colors are bright and pure; they bring hope in these darkened times.
Love the heart in the middle.
