Andy,
A New Year Letter
Am trying to put my thoughts together and write something about which I cannot run away from - 2017. That is if the Good Lord does not take me home before then.
Do I look forward to a new year? A fresh start? Why does it have to be in January and on the first day of that month to make new year resolutions? Do I have to trudge through 365 days before I can make a turn? How did all these practices come about? Some will say that they are just a done thing.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
And days of auld lang syne
The bible says God gives man three score and ten years. Every year after that is a bonus but it comes with sorrow and trouble. If we look around there is much uncertainty in the world, much suffering through natural and man-made disasters.
One day at a time sweet Jesus,
The youths today appear very self-absorbed, self-indulgent, self-important.However, there is hope for mankind when we hear of them dirtying their hands to save the environment; spending days clearing and cleaning homes of elderly hoarders; and performing many other good turns.
One day at a time sweet Jesus,
That's all I'm asking from You
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do

Our generation unlike our parents' may seem to be the lucky ones - not having been through world wars and now enjoying our retirement years. We have much to be thankful for. Now there's talk of us living to nine decades or even a century and many more will suffer from dementia and Alzheimer's. But there are ways to keep the disease at bay with the help of medicine and science.
Do I look forward to 2017 as I look back at 2016 with nostalgia? Yes, and I will never forget to sing:
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by as quickly as a wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think

Wishing all a Healthy, Happy New 2017.🎉🎈
