I am the New Year. I am unused, unspotted, without blemish. I stretch before you 365 days long. I will present each day in its turns, a new leaf in the Book of Life, for you to place upon it your imprint.

It remains for you to make of me what you will; if you write with firm, steady strokes, my pages will be a joy to look upon when the next year comes. If the pen falters, if uncertainty or doubt should mar the page, it will have been a learning lesson…one to grow from.

I am the New Year. Each hour of the 365 days, I will give you 60 minutes that have never known the use of man. White and pure, I present them; it remains for you to fill each of them with 60 jeweled seconds of love, hope, endeavor, patience, and trust in God.

I am the New Year. I am here–but once past, I can never be recalled.

Make me your best!

Have a blessed and Happy 2020!
