Ma's New Year's Irish Blessing, handed down from Gma and GGma....
"Count your blessings instead of your crosses.
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes.
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears.
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full times instead of your lean.
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth.
Love your neighbor as much as yourself."
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes.
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears.
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full times instead of your lean.
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth.
Love your neighbor as much as yourself."
And ya'll knows MY New Years resolution Blessing.....

Happy New Year Ruby and Ma. May the New Year bring you courage to break your resolutions early! Now abouts that last "Love your neighbor as much as yourself". I'm really having trouble with that one see because he is a hybrid wolf dog who wants to chew on me so this love my neighbor ain't going to happen.
