1 TUESDAY

Happy New Year!
A New Years cheer to love and laughter and happily ever after
A health to you, a wealth to you,
And the best that life can give to you.
Dance as if no one were watching, sing as if no onewere listening and live every day as if it were your last.
Here's wishing you more happiness
Than all my words can tell, Not just alone for New Years Eve
But for all the year as well.
Here's to the days of good will, cold weather, and warm hearts.
