A New Year - Vintage Wishes



Hello, Dear Friends!
As I write this, it is the last day of 2019.
The last day of the decade!

Will we be entering the roaring 20's once again,
or will we create a brand new world?

My word for 2020 is 'Magic'.

I am on a search...…...
Sometimes we forget to look
for the magical, the miracle,
the divine in all things.

My wish for all of you as the New Decade dawns,
is to find a little bit of magic in each and every day.

xoxo

I've collected some of my favorite vintage New Year's Greetings
and quotes to share with you.

xoxo


Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
whispering, 'It will be happier.'

-Alfred Lord Tennyson


 For last year's words belong to last year's
language, and next year's words await
another voice.

-T.S. Eliot


Write it on your heart that every day 
is the best day of the year.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson


Learn from yesterday, live for today,
hope for tomorrow. 

-Albert Einstein


One resolution I have made, 
and always try to keep, 
is this - to rise above 
the little things.

- John Burroughs


You are never too old to set another goal
or to dream a new dream.

- C.S. Lewis



Cheers to a New Year and another chance 
for us to get it right. 

- Oprah Winfrey


Be at war with your vices, 
at peace with your neighbors, 
and let every new year find 
you a better man.

- Benjamin Franklin


A little smile, a word of cheer,
a bit of love from someone near,
a little gift from one held dear, 
Best wishes for the coming year.

- Irish Blessing



Ring out the false, 
ring in the true.

-Alfred Lord Tennyson




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
