The bells will ring at midnight,

A new path we shall tread.

Forward we go with hope in our heart,

To welcome a New Year ahead.

A New Year is now beginning,

We will leave the old behind.

We’ll think of new friends and family,

Bring new memories to our mind.

We wonder what the future holds,

And what changes we shall find.

Be thankful for all you have received

Leave your troubles and worries behind.

So light the world with happiness,

Show others how much we care.

Let's make this a Happy New Year,

With millions of memories to share.

A Message to all of my friends:

THANK YOU from my heart for this past year for all of your kind and caring emails, cards, letters and GB entries. You have all been truly kind and caring and I want you to know it is because of "YOU" that I keep my website going. I receive thousands upon thousands of emails from you, some when your hearts are so full of sadness from the loss of a loved one. Well, I shall tell you a secret. When I read your letters, I cry right a long with you. You are always in my prayers, so never think for a moment that when you email me, I fail to read it. That is never the case. You truly are MY gift from God above and what keeps me writing. I love each of you and always hope you will find comfort in something I write. If you ever need a friend, I am here for you. There may be times I am not always able to sit at my computer long to write, but please know I am here and I will always do my best to write when I am able. 

May God bless each of you. I love you and wish you a Very Happy New Year. I pray 2007 is a year of peace, happiness, better heath, prosperity and love for each of us.

With love forever, Ruth Ann
