2020 is Almost Here!confetti

But…

Before the ball drops

And…

Before a whole wonderful new decade begins…

Will you give yourself

A thankful grin

I mean you made it

Almost to the end

Of 2019 and that’s a win!

Before the ball drops…

new-years-kangaroo-ball-drop

You into the New Year

Are you arriving

Without any fear

Are you arriving

Knowing that you’ve done your best

Despite all the times you’ve been put to the test

Will you be grateful for any blessing given?

Will you be thankful that you are still amongst the living?

Can you leave the worries of the past

In the past?

Are you thankful that letting go

new-years-let-go

Is much easier than you thought yo???

Before the ball drops…

Is there something you’d like to saysay-something.png

Maybe tell yourself your life is really OK?

Mention how you want to finish out the year a certain way.

Are there some words of kindness

There’s still time to throw your way?

Before the Ball Drops

Before it drops!

Before the ball drops…

Have you developed a thicker skin?

Are some of 2019’s successes

Giving your life a more positive spin?positive-spin-life

With pride

With love

With head raised looking uplooking-up

Can it be…

Or is it just me

That sees the future

As another opportunity

To complete the reason

To just be

Free of sorrow

Failing forward

Into tomorrow

Saying goodbyewaving-goodbye

Maybe having a good cry

‘Cause you can’t deny

As Frank Sinatra loosely said

In his famous songs

All in all

Or was it…

Through it all

I did it my way

And…for the most part my dear

It’s been a very good year!

So…Before the Ball Drops For Younew-years-ball

Can You? Have You? Will You?

    1. Bravo Wendy. I trust you have been and will be your highest and best as time moves forward. We are, as only we can be in the moment. We learn. We grow. And on we go. As Maya Angelou said: “When know better, we do better.” And…so it is. The magic begins right where we are right now. So, as the ball drops in a few hours, we are ready to enter the journey of 365 opprtunities. Peace Be Still***

  9. I love it! It is uplifting yet calm. And I just want to add: I think the “yo” was a nice little detail that reduced the sense of seriousness poetry can sometimes have. I think it is cool when people take themselves seriously in the sense of respecting themselves and their ability – but at the same time in a different way have a relaxed attitude towards themselves.
