On The Eve of a New Year

On this New Year's Eve I don't hear the sounds of club music or the 

crowded streets of Time Square;
instead, I hear the sounds of my parents, laughing

and talking and I am so thankful for that sound. 

Before a new year begins I would like to write that

 I am deeply thankful for my
 Family and Friends.

Happy New Year to you and the ones you love.

"The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is
that we should have a new soul."
~G.K. Chesterton

For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
~T.S. Eliot

Dear Frankie

I woke up this morning to the sound of falling rain. After my morning cup of coffee, I did some laundry and cleaning. During that time Frankie kept me company.

Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra, (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer and film actor. Beginning his musical career in the swing era with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, Sinatra became an unprecedentedly successful solo artist in the early to mid-1940s, after being signed to Columbia Records in 1943. Being the idol of the "bobby soxers", he released his first album, The Voice of Frank Sinatra in 1946.

To Study

I know it has been a long time since I have written and posted anything on my blog. No, my computer did not break down, and no my fingers have not all been broken. So, my reason for not writing has been...

To Study

1: [Noun] Literally, a setting of the mind or thoughts upon a subject; hence, application of mind of books, to arts or science, or to any subject, for the purpose of learning what is not before known.

Over the past two months I had been studying different subjects (specifically Mathematics) in order to take the GED test. This was a step I needed to take in order to then apply for college (another story, at another time). On December 3rd I went to the adult learning center and took my GED test and...I now have my certificate in my room! 

I am realizing a little more each day that Learning is not always quick and easy, 

but it is so good for me and the more I try it, the more I love it. 

I am very pleased to say that I will be posting, and writing again on here, and 

I hope in the New Year  you will enjoy the stories and pictures that will appear!

Sincerely,

Libby
