I'd like to offer you all a few meager wishes & thoughts for the coming year.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In remembrance of those who have gone before us .....

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow...
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry—
I am not there... I did not die...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

And my wishes for all of you, every one here on Caedes .....

Wishing you always...
Walls for the wind,
A roof for the rain
And tea beside the fire.
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all that your heart may desire.

An Old Irish Blessing

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

Have a happy and bountiful New Year everyone ... filled with peace and love !
