Jump up and down to celebrate the New Year Unleash hugs and kisses on those you hold dear Bring in the New Year with a glass of champagne I’ll let go of the past, in the past it should remain Life’s all too short, now is the time to have fun And so I'll plan quick trip to see my precious son New opportunities will soon be coming our way Take every chance; we must all live for today Joy and laughter are needed for a happy life Overcome obstacles which can bring us strife You can make a difference just with a smile! N/A in Jubilant Joy Contest judged on 1/13/19 Sponsored by Chantelle Anne Cooke 1/6/19

This is Jan-wisdom shining via her talented use of emotion and truth. This is embraceable as an universal life philosophy no matter the year. Love it, and look forward to being with you, as it is, for yet another year. Poetry hugs ... CayCay (quick trip or TRIPS)
