Happy New Year !

New Years's Eve Song -Auld Lang Syne 

The traditional song for ringing in the New Year in almost every English speaking country in the world is Auld Lang Syne. This New Year Song  generally credited to Robert Burns ,but earlier versions of the this ballade precede his time. Burns combined a common Scottish folk song with his own lyrics to arrive at  the version commonly sang on New Year's Eve.

What is the meaning of this New Year's Song ? Auld Lang Syn is about old friends who have parted and meet again. To celebrate their long friendship,they share a drink together and reminisce of memories from long ago. The basic message is that we should not forget our old friends but celebrate a reunion with them.

When the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve.gather everyone together at your party or celebration to sing the New Year's Song and remember the good memories of family and friends from long ago....

 Should old acquaintances be forgotten,

And never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintances be forgotten.

And days of long ago !

Chorus:

For old long ago ,my dear 

For old long ago .

We will take a cup of kindness yet 

For old long ago 

We have run about the hillsides

And pulled the daisies fine,

But we have wandered many a weary foot

For old long.

We two have paddled (waded) in stream

From noon until dinner time .

 But seas between us broad have roared

Since old long ago.

And there is a hand ,my trusted friend, And give us a hand of yours,

And we will take good will draught (of ale)

For old long ago!

And surely we will pay for your pint 

And surely I will pay for mine!

And we will take a cup of kindness yet 

For old long ago !

To All women !

This was passed on to me from a dear friend .....Thanks Anna

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.

Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
