New Year of Life

Wow! How time flies so quickly! A moment ago 
life had just begun and now it is rushing away 
eager to get somewhere.

Will the year bring happiness and joy?
Will this year renew? I wish it could; you may 
never know.

There is a saying from Narcotics Anonymous, " Take 
one day at a time". I can't take one day
at a time because I may never know what 
can happen in that one day. So, I try to live one 
moment at a tiime.

Time is precious in every moment of life; if only I can 
truly believe that. A moment is like one breath
of life that captivates the Soul, releasing energy
that is within.

Most people have New Year resolutions. My New Year 
resolution is to live one moment at a time and to let life
take its place wherever it may go to.
I hope this year brings me to a place where my Soul
may breathe freely and guide me through time.
