    The Ancient One says

    There's A New Day Coming

    When the Sun announces the dawning day,
    Just flex your muscles and start on your way.
    Go over, or under, around, or through
    Any obstacles or hurdles that challenge you.
    There's a new day coming.

    Cast aside the failures of yesterday.
    Forget the peaks and valleys that have paved your way.
    Wipe the sweat from your brow
    And the dust from your shoe.
    Take a breath and relax so that you may begin anew.
    There's a new day coming.

    Forget the burdens and obstacles
    That have held you back.
    Focus on your dreams and prepare a plan of attack.
    There are battles awaiting to challenge your success,
    Daring you to stand tall and to give it your best.
    There's a new day coming.

    No matter how great the journey, or how heavy the load,
    How steep the mountain, or how rough the road,
    When your arms grow weary and legs give way,
    Stop and rest for a moment; it will be okay.
    There's a new day coming.

    As shadows spring forth from the setting Sun,
    Take a moment and savor the battles you've won.
    Sleep peacefully tonight and enjoy your rest.
    Awaken tomorrow and continue your quest.
    There's always, a new day coming.

    Anne--
    I agree. From the last couple weeks alone, I have received suggestions from people and noticed books that I never would have considered reading.

    Wow, you're not kidding that you took some of my recommendation. I hope I don't bomb out . . . Musical Chairs is by a person I recently "met" through this site, and I indicated I would read the book. I only tell you that because I haven't actually read it yet. The other ones that I see on your page I did read.

    Hi, Anne. I agree that one can never have too many friends, and I am glad to meet a baseball-lover. The Angell books are great, and there are some other good ones that I'd be happy to discuss at some point. I will look through your shelf a little more carefully when I get a chance--lots of books! If your do read my new novel, I obviously hope you enjoy it. If you want a signed copy let me know. Otherwise, if you decide to read it, I certainly won't quibble with where you get it from!

    Hi!

    I'm reading books from this reading list I got from high school when I was a freshman. It has so many books I would never think to read! I've been working on this list little by little and I've almost finished the B's. I wonder how long it will take me to get to the M's?

    Claudia :)

    Hello Anne. I see you have A Mercy on your shelf. I got a copy today and plan to start reading it soon. Have you started reading it yet?

    BTW, nice shelf you have. We have very similar tastes in books.

    Miss your face Ann. I am also recovering w/health issues. A broken ankle, healing very well, and now bursitis, but that too will fade away, soon I hope.
    I read as much as I can; can't be without a book - I love the Jan Karon books, Maeve Binchy, Anita Shreve, Jodi Picoult and many others. I will try to share more later when, as Cynthia sez, I figure out how this works. SJ

    Absolutely - once I figure out how this thing works. So far I've done nothing but register - no profile, etc. yet. Am just now getting more active after hip surgery (both), so look forward to some social contact I've been missing out on. We miss you down at yer ol' stompin' grounds. C
