10, 9, 8…..

As the clock strikes 10, I will not fret. I will walk away from this year without any regret.

As the clock strikes 9, there will be no lament, for I know my time this year was very well spent.

As the clock strikes 8, I will smile and sigh as amazing memories of the year flash by.

As the clock strikes 7, I will laugh out loud at the wild things I’ve done, so much adventure and so much fun.

As the clock strikes 6, I will consider things still to be done and begin devising a plan for what is yet to come.

As the clock strikes 5, I will think of those we have lost and remember even in the best of circumstances, love has a cost.

As the clock strikes 4, I will let a tear or two flow, for the pain and suffering of so many I know.

As the clock strikes 3, I will take a look around and marvel in the blessings which surely abound.

As the clock strikes 2, I will close my eyes and pray. I will thank God for all the amazing joy He has already sent my way.

As the clock strikes 1, I will joyfully sing from my heart wide open ready for the new love it will bring.

May your year be filled with joy and peace. Happy New Year!
