'round the Corner

As the new year rounds the corner We're confronted with the fact That it might be filled with many things The current year has lacked. There will be more joy or sorrow (Circumstances will decide) But whichever way it falls, we're all Seat-buckled for the ride. We've no choice now but to face it, Though with welcome or with dread, And the coming months will show us Where exactly we've been led.

hey jan! i'd pretty much given up on contests but recently entered two of them. of course, i didn't even place in the other one. it's a bit dispiriting when that happens, so i'm not sure that i'll rush to enter another. thanks for your support, though...

I'm sure there will be challenges ahead for us all both good times and bad but we have no control over what is going to happen and can only learn from the past:-) Hope 2017 is a great one for you Ilene thanks for all your support over the last year:-) hugs jan xx
