A New Year's Jingle

This posting is a follow-up to last year's "Twas The Night After Christmas" (12/2/07, 12/12/07):

A NEW YEAR'S JINGLE

I know what you're saying. "It's that danged resolution time!"
You're right! But fixing thing's in your life is not a crime.


Let's take a brief look back, check out how you did.
Was '08 a good year? Did you break a bad habit?


Do you now drink or smoke less? Did you drop a pound or two?
Were you kinder to people? Does your partner more often hear ' I love you'?


Well, if so, that's great? And if not, "Oh my!"
GOOD NEWS for you,... you get another try.


This was a difficult year for us all. America was not at it's best.
The wars continue, many jobs have been lost, and the economy's a mess.


But last month we pulled together, and we voted for hope.
Let's look forward to '09 as a new opportunity to cope


With the personal issues that plague us, and those problems we have still.
Now's the time to dig deeper. Call on your stronger will.


Remember: small steps is the answer. It's most important to start
Inch by inch it's a cinch, so let's all be smart.


Love better, play more, eat smarter, relax too.
Less drama, more peace, exercise will make for a healthier you.


What you do in your head that will help as you go through the year
Is more optimism, positive thinking, more confidence, less fear.


And do not be afraid to ask for help if you need it in 2009.
Too many of us don't do that, and end up in a bind.


You deserve to be happy, so focus on that.
Visualize good things in your life, and you'll have no regrets!
I hope you've enjoyed this jingle, and I appreciate your acknowledgement.
But now's the time to STOP and THINK, "What am I going to get out of it?"
There should be something you've decided you'd try, before you reach the end.
If not your best move may be to start over. Read it again.
