Thoughts for New Year's Eve

There will be times next year when life seems to be a confusing mess.

Every hurdle will seem too tall to leap over.

You'll want to hide your eyes.

But you can't just sit around and be sad.

You have to hang in there, darn it!

Look toward the future with hope ...

... and shake your fist (or rifle, whatever) at the past.

Sooner or later a pal will come bounding over the rocks ...

... and help you find the way.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
