First Scribble of 2010

I am opening a book. Its pages are blank.

I am going to put words on them myself.

The book is called Opportunity,

and its first chapter is New Year's Day.

No, life has not disappointed me.
On the contrary, I find it truer, more desirable and mysterious every year.
The idea that life is God-given grace, not a duty, not a calamity, not trickery.

This bright new year is given me,

To live each day with zest

To daily grow and try to be

my highest and best!

Have a Magnificent Year, dearies!
