I don't make resolutions any more. However, I do make goals to go after without pressure. It doesn't matter if I accomplished all on this list. All that matters is I have something to strive for. I wrote this as a farewell to 2018 and hello 2019! Happy New Year my soup friends:-) Alexis

As the New Year approaches, I sit and think about my life. Did I do everything that I sat out to do? Did I attempt to live my very best life? Did I let my loved ones know how much I loved them? Did I dance on a cloud? Did I dream big? Did I take a chance on love? Did I discover new things about me? Did I let my muse take the wheel Did I let my ink overflow? Did I hold my pen with purpose? Did I let you get a glimpse of the woman behind the poem? 12-29-18 Alexis Y.

I'm with you, Alexis, I don't make resolutions but I try to live every day a little better than the last. Put your petticoat down, I can see your knickers, lol.

The new year, a time of rebirth, gives one a chance to renew one's attitude and goals in life.. your introspective poem is beautiful in its self-reflection, Alexis. Your lovely heart shines in this piece, my friend. Warmest wishes for a happy and fulfilling new year.. ~Susan

I can vouch that you well-served each sentiment related to writing! You are such a Soup-gem and I value your presence. This poem is, in and of itself, an insight into the spirit called Alexis. Loved your limerick on Jan's page - well done. Much love ... CayCay

I love it when you said: (It it does matter if I accomplished all on this list) Then you won't be disappointed if you can't accomplish everything, perfect Alexis! HAPPY NEW YEAR and stay safe my friend.
