新年好

Welcome to the New Year! I hope it will be the happiest you've ever known, and that it will be a year filled with dreams come true.

This is such a perfect time to think of wishes you want to turn into realities and goals you want to reach. It takes a lot to set your sights on a distant horizon and to keep on reaching for those goals. It takes a lot of courage and hard work, believing and achieving, patience and perseverance, inner strength and gentle hope. It takes a lot of giving it your best and doing the fantastic things you do. But most of all...

It takes someone as wonderful as you.

Friend Is, A
by: Collin McCarty


A friend is one of the nicest things you can have,　and one of the best things you can be.
A friend is a living treasure, and if you have one,　you have one of the most valuable gifts in life...
A friend is the one who will always be beside you,　through all the laughter, and through each and every tear.
A friend is the one thing you can always rely on;
the someone you can always open up to;
the one wonderful person who always believes in you　in a way that no one else seems to.
A friend is a sanctuary.
A friend is a smile.
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,　no matter where you are,　no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there　and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
A friend is the one door that is always open.
A friend is the one to whom you can give your key.
A friend is one of the nicest things you can have,　and one of the best things you can be.

24 Things to Remember
Collin McCarty

Your presence is a present to the world.
You're unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be.
Take the days just one at a time.

Count your blessings, not your troubles.
You'll make it through whatever comes along.
Within you are so many answers.
Understand, have courage, be strong.

Don't put limits on yourself.
So many dreams are waiting to be realized.
Decisions are too important to leave to chance.
Reach for your peak, your goal, your prize.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets.
Don't take things too seriously.
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Remember that a little love goes a long way
Remember that a lot goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment.
Life's treasures are people together.

Realize that it's never too late.
Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
Have health and hope and happiness.
Take time to wish upon a star.
And don't ever forget - not even a day- How very special you are

Begin Again
by Collin McCarty

One of the best things we can do in our lives is this: begin again.
Begin to see yourself as you were when you were the happiest and strongest you've ever been.

Begin to remember what worked for you (and what worked against you),
and try to capture the magic again.

Begin to remember how natural it was when you were a child - to live a lifetime each day.

Begin to forget the baggage you have carried with you for years:
the problems that don't matter anymore,
the tears that cried themselves away,
and the worries that are going to wash away
on the shore of tomorrow's new beginning.

Tomorrow tells us it will be here every new day of our lives;
and if we will be wise, we will turn away from the problems of the past
and give the future - and ourselves - a chance to become the best of friends.

Sometimes all it takes is a wish in the heart to let yourself...

Begin Again

Do you Know　How Important You Are　To Me?
Collin McCarty

I know you probably wonder
from time to time
what you mean to me.
So I'd like to share this thought
with you, to tell you that
you mean the world to me.

Think of something you couldn't live without
......and multiply it by a hundred.
Think of what happiness means to you
......and add it to the feelings you get
on the best days you've ever had.

Add up all your best feelings
and take away all the rest
......and what you're left with is
exactly how I feel about you.

You matter more to me than you can
imagine and much more than I'll ever
be able to explain.

You are a truly special person.

Even if you were only
half as wonderful
as you are......

You'd still be
twice as nice
as anyone I've ever known

I wouldn't trade the days
I've spent with you for anything

Well......maybe just one thing

A million more just like them...

My life has been touched

because we have walked
a special walk together

because you matter to me

because we are friends

because you have given
me courage

because I care

and I love you!!!
