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
.

Bad Joke Monday
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve.  
Middle age is when you're forced to.  Bill Vaughn

People are so worried about what they eat between 
Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried 
about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas.

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in.  
A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.  Bill Vaughan

Quote Of The Week

or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year.  
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

                  Jokes that go over like a lead balloon 
Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.  Oprah Winfrey

New Year's Day:
Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions.
Next week you can begin paving the road to hell with them as usual.  Mark Twain

       
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

Classics 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 chapter is New Year's Day.  Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.

       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

Send us your favorite quote

           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

     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

The 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
