Glory to God
in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth. Martin Luther .

New Year's Eve.
Middle age is when you're forced to. Bill Vaughn

they eat between

Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells
and fire off pistols. Thomas Mann
Thoughts While Waiting
For New Years Eve
Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits.
A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.
No one ever regarded the First of January with indifference.
It is that from which all date their time, and count upon what is left.
It is the nativity of our common Adam. Charles Lamb
New Year's Day is every man's birthday. Charles Lamb
Never tell your resolution beforehand,
or it's twice as onerous a duty. John Selden
Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on,
with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Hal Borland

Good
Service Tip Of The Week
Every man should be born again on the first day of
January.
Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if
necessary,
or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January
let
every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no
interest in the things that were and are past. Henry Ward Beecher

From The Capital City New Year's eve is like every other night;
there is no pause in the march of the universe,
no breathless moment of silence
among created things that the passage
of another twelve months may be noted; and
yet no man has quite
the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of
darkness on other nights. Hamilton Wright Mabie
The Old Year has gone. Let the dead past bury its own dead. The New
Year has taken possession of the clock of time. All hail the duties and
possibilities of the coming twelve months! Edward Payson Powell
The new year begins in a snow-storm of white vows. ~George William Curtis
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put
words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first

Oh Thank You, Thank You, I needed to know
this! Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank
where they have no account. Oscar Wilde
OWIM
(Oh Well It’s Monday)
A new oath holds pretty well;
but when it is become old, and frayed out, and damaged by a dozen annual
retryings of its remains, it ceases to be serviceable;
any little strain will snap it. Mark Twain
But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty?
I live according to twenty-year-old habits. Andre Gide MDOT - There
When We Need Them Most!Great Road Report Team! The Writer's Block
And ye, who have met with Adversity's blast,
And been bow'd to the earth by its fury;
To whom the Twelve Months, that have recently pass'd
Were as harsh as a prejudiced jury -
Still, fill to the Future! and join in our chime,
The regrets of remembrance to cozen,
And having obtained a New Trial of Time,
Shout in hopes of a kindlier dozen. Thomas Hood
Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past.
Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go. Brooks
Atkinson

Final Word From Treebranch
One resolution I have made, and try
always to keep, is this:
To rise above the little things. John Burroughs
Of all sound of all bells... most solemn and touching is
the peal which rings out the Old Year. Charles Lamb
A
happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
~Edgar Guest
