Just wanted to wish you all a GREAT NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >From the Eastern Time Zone. Regina

Happy New Year from Amarillo, Texas!! This group is the greatest!!! Thanks for all your help and the wonderful postings.......and....for your understanding in my being so slow at getting my life together instead of genealogy at this time! Here's hoping genealogy this year will take off for everyone! Ruth >Just wanted to wish you all a GREAT NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>From the Eastern Time Zone. > > Regina Don't forget the five simple rules to be happy: Free your heart from hatred. Free your mind from worries. Live simply. Give more. Expect less. Other good advice: No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the bumps too long. Move on! When you feel down because you didn't get what you want, just sit tight and be happy, because God has thought of something better to give you. When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means. There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.
