Wishes for the New Year
 


May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs, and
your stocks not fall;
and may your blood pressure, your
triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count
and your mortgage interest not rise.


May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your
cardiologist, your gastroenterologist, your urologist,
your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist,
your plumber, and the IRS.

May you find a way to travel from anywhere to anywhere
during rush hour in less than an hour, and when
you get
there may you find a parking space.

May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what
others see in you delight them.

May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until
you finish dinner, may your checkbook and your budget balance.

May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day
to your spouse, your child, and your parent, your friends.

May we live as intended, in a world at peace with the
awareness of the beauty in every sunset, every flower's
unfolding petals, every baby's smile and every wonderful,
astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.

Bless you with every happiness, great health, peace, much love during the next year and all those that follow.
 

  

 

 

I have been guilty of looking at others my own age and thinking...surely
I cannot look that old.........I'm sure you've done the same.

While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new
dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name. Suddenly,
I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 40 years ago. Upon seeing him, however, I
quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with
the deeply lined face was too old to have been my classmate.

After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended the local
high school.

"Yes," he replied.

"When did you graduate?" I asked.

He answered, "In 1957."

"Why, you were in my class!" I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely and then asked, "What did you teach?"

We had a great time at the Christmas Party at our house,- especially when I took out my present from Mary:  A Karaoke machine!.  Once I got started there was no stopping me.  When some of the kids asked if they could sing a song after I sang about ten, I remember responding: "No you can peel this mike out of my cold dead hands before I will give it up!" (Only kiddin) 

Here is a great site about Karaoke if you love to sing:

I met my true love a quarter of a century ago and do not believe nonsense like this can be bad luck for me. I figure the author is a 13 year old. - BIG MISTAKE - ok. 12 years old.

 

 

Have you been going to CEOExpress.com from last week? Did you like this site describing common English language errors?  http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/index.html

No time? Well I won't have time now that the two week vacation is over. I love New Years on a Wednesday.

Keep healthy and happy in '03.

 


Pete
