I have been clearing the paper clutter and came across this little ditty I wrote, apparently on December 29, 2005. It made me smile and I decided to share this instead of my original poem share today.
To new beginnings and fresh starts, any time of the year.
Even today.
Amen.
Here it is:
Smile more,
laugh more,
truly
worry less-
focus on blessedness.
These are my solutions
to stress and strife
and woes of life.
Add this:
end talk pollution!
Linking with dVerse and Emily for Imperfect Prose- smiling at my old
scribbled words found today!
Enthusiastically, Dawn 
Hi Dawn! I was thinking that this was a short post, and then I read the last line of your 'little ditty'. Then I just starting laughing!These are really words to live by. Sometimes people just talk to fill the air with their noise, and I am one of those people sometimes. Short can really be sweet!Nice to see you!Ceil

Oh this was sweet… and I love that last line. It would be nice to find such little gems somewhere…. But I was not a poet then.

Good words to live by. Noise is a pollution that too much talk contributes to.
