ERIN AND VAL'S CHRISTMAS GARDEN. | Source

Good morning; well I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas ;actually my Christmases don't end until January 2nd so there's a little while to go again.

I bet there are going to be many New Years resolutions around ;some to break and some to keep as always.

As we are in the last few days of 2012 in contemplation I am going into this brand New Year learning from past mistakes ; of which there are many like most of us have !

My resolutions are to promote my published ebooks ,which I have hardly done at all and of course to publish many more !!!

I have also bought a writing magazine in which there are great tips and competitions.

In 2009 I took up a writing course with 'The Writing Bureau' and have only sent in two assignments.

There is no time limit on the course so it's getting down to carrying on with that too.

My heart tells me that now is the time to be undertaking these tasks!! I shall rephrase that because to me a task is something we don't enjoy; but to me writing is a 'calling' and all these bits and bobs that go with it are very important parts of this 'calling'.

I also travel into this New Year feeling so happy and rich in knowing that I am so privileged to have my wonderful family who are all around me. I also have you all my 'hubfamily' who I treasure greatly.

I have my own quote which came to me one day over the past couple of years and now this quote consists of three words which are today still more important to me than ever before..

They are:-

Expectance,acceptance and appreciation.

These three words have helped me through many a hard day.

At times we must expect those bleak days ;we accept them as part of our lives and also throughout each hard day we should always appreciate the good things around us.

Right my wonderful hubfamily it is time for the Christmas nibbles and for us to sit in my haven and by Erin and Val's Christmas garden.

Here are your teas,coffees or mulled wine for those of you who prefer a Christmas tipple I shall be boring and have my usual cuppa.I will follow with this tray and please I really don't mind if you demolish the lot ;as always I have made far to much food.!!Oh don't we all ;ha ha!!

Right are we all seated comfy ???Let's begin and I hope you enjoy the following poems:-

Oh yes

Goodbye this year

So many lessons learnt

Also a good few knocks taken

But we've expected,accepted and won

We stand strong, united and tall

Facing the brand New Year

New days, fresh starts

Oh yes.

Oh how so brightly

Today my world I so love

Each heart rejoicing.

Faith and hope

Await each eager heart

I accept each rejoicing promise

There awaits a world so true

Have the courage and the strength

x

All my hopes I share with thee

Never to lose

Dreams to live and breathe

x

How I have learnt

Oh how I now know

Promises to cherish, to keep

Each and every heart to trust and believe.

Look back with honesty

Look back with a strong heart

Look back with such love

Look back to the start............................................

Each moment will brighten

Each new path will glow

Each heartbeat will promise

Each sincere love will flow..............................

This New Year will blossom

This New Year will glow.

This New Year yours to enjoy

This New Year each true heart will show.................

As one year ends

another begins

in contemplation I honestly

share

my hope

and

my faith.

An end of an era

a new one to begin

promise to learn from yesteryear's

errors.

Learn

walk onwards

walk upwards.

admit your shortcomings

admit those faults

no excuses

no shielding!!!

As one door closes

another opens.

I await in sweet trepidation

What will this new year hold ?

What will come my way?

Will there be bleak days?

Will there be pain?

Expect some bleak days

Accept and overcome

before moving on

into that

stronger and brighter

tomorrow.

Without bleakness

the brightness

of each sunny day

would not be

fully appreciated.

Appreciate your blessings

allow your heart to hope;

find your faith

and hold this strong.

Let us walk united into this

New Year

with hearts

full of

strength ;hope and faith!!


Enjoy these final days of 2012 and I look forward to us all moving united into 2013.

Thank you so much for all throughout 2012;your kindness and support I shall appreciate forevermore.

Lots of love and hugs from my little corner of Wales to you all, my hubfamily.

Eddy.
