Hello January

Hello January, It’s nice to greet you again. I have looked forward to seeing you all year. Sharing with you the old and the new Our time, to me, is very dear. So, where shall we begin? You go first! What, not much to say? For you, it is just another day? Repeating history…no mystery? How can that be? 2013, to me, was a blast! I learned to live with less And to make things last, Sharing, hoping to bless. I love life more…or less. Depending on thoughts vast! Depression and stress, Thank, God, things pass. At least so far so good …for me. Not so for 2 young men. 2 shot guns. 2 different towns – Suicides Hang in there everyone. Call someone, ANYONE! The suicide hotline… Not the GUNS!!! Death is NOT fun! So, what are 2014 goals, you ask? Love more; stress less. Write more; find bliss. Do things like this: Plant gardens, Let not my heart harden. Study scriptures; take pictures. Play when it’s raining. Finish painting. Do chores galore! But mostly, cherish life…all. For we owe it all to God in the long haul! Copyright January 14, 2014 Written for poetry Soup Member Contest: Hello January
