Happy New Year

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne*?

For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Robert Burns

     Ok, I'll admit it, I am a Wikipedia junkie. I have been since I was a little child. No, no that's not true, when I was a little kid we didn't have the internet, we would go to the library and research, but Wiki is so much easier and right here in my smartlaptoptablet thingy! If I want to know about say, Hank Williams, or Billy Holiday, or "What did Marco Polo do that made him famous?" it's all on there, subject to verification of course.It's probably where all of us looked up Teddy Kennedy and his GBM and it's always fascinating.

    This morning as my brain rambles through many things ( the beauty of ADD is you can and usually do have a brain that rambles through many things), I was thinking about New Years Eve and 2015 and of course, got the song above stuck in my head. Where did this originate and what are the words? Wikipedia to the rescue! It is a very old Scot tradition. Groups circle up, cross arms and hold hands as they sing it. At the end, they all come to the center of the circle,hug each other and wish each all happiness and health in the New Year.

    What a wonderful tradition! After the craziest year in my life, nothing sounds better than wishing each other that we forget the past, and hope for a great future. Holding hands with those you Love and sharing a great fellowship.

    As we enter the year 2015, let's all share our Love and kindness with those around us. Lets hope for each other a positivity that will keep us full of  happiness good health! Let's hope for great medical research and mostly, a cure.

    Again, thank you for reading my ramblings. You have all blessed me so much with your information, Love and carings. Know that whether I am fully mentally here or partially, I still am glad that I have been able to talk and share and be a small part of your life.

Should auld aquaintence be forgot and never brought to mind
Should Auld aquaintance be forgot in days of Auld lang sine
For Auld Lang sine my dear, for AUld Lang sine
We'll take a cup of kindness  yet
In days of Auld Lang Sine

Hug each other, forgive often, and know that you are blessed for every day you breath!

Happy New Year!!!
