May good health and happiness be a blessing to all in the coming year!
What a gift we have in each other! We don't have to be dressed, hair combed, off the couch or out of bed to talk to each other! We just push a few keys and there we are!
-------------------- God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he'll be there.

- When I look back, or even at the present (still in PJ's at 2:30 pm, waiting for better balance to shower) . . . I tend to feel badly about how I could have missed the mark in so many matters - or couldn't do this or that.
This poem helps me all year long to put it all into perspective:
Excerpt From "Thanks, Robert Frost" - by David Ray in "The Poet's Choice" 1980
NEW YEAR'S EVE
Do you have hope for the future? Someone asked Robert Frost, toward the end.
Yes, and even for the past, he replied, that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was,
something we can accept, mistakes made by the selves we had to be, not able to be, perhaps, what we wished, or what looking back half the time it seems we could so easily have been, or ought . . . .
[. . . that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was . . . .] -

Happy, Healthy 2013 to all!
Keebler, thanks for that poem. I used to read Robert Frost's poems years ago. I found his thoughts very interesting towards the end of his life. Thanks for posting that.
"that it will turn out to have been all right for what it was"
Yes, indeed.
