It’s always a good feeling when your hard work pays off…

Seems a lot of people around me using this whole end-of-year-into-brand-new-year time to revisit and repair broken relationships…

Every New Year there is a flurry of activity as people set a whole slew of goals (calling them resolutions)…

Michael Gelb’s “How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci” is another book that I have had for a long time and read several times…

It seems that very often our plans for ourselves are based on these future fantasies of what our life would be like if certain things change…

…thinks I’m beautiful
…talks to me all night
…smiles when he sees me
…lies with me in his arms
…sings silly songs with me
…wants to hug me every day
…watches cartoons at night
…holds my hand in his
…dances like noone cares
…reads beside me in bed
…kisses me every time we meet
…loves me with all his heart
Reminder:
Wishlist: Part II
Wishlist: Part I

You’ll never find, as long as you live
Someone who loves you tender like I do
You’ll never find, no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you the way I do

Whoa, I’m not braggin’ on myself, baby
But I’m the one who loves you
And there’s no one else, noone else

You’ll never find, it’ll take the end of all time
Someone to understand you like I do
You’ll never find the rhythm, the rhyme
All the magic we shared, just us two

Whoa, I’m not tryin’ to make you stay, baby
But I know some how, some day, some way
You’re gonna miss my lovin’
You’re gonna miss, you’re gonna miss my love

Whoa, oh you’re gonna miss my lovin’
Late in the midnight hour, baby, you’re gonna miss my lovin’
When it’s cold outside, you’re gonna miss my lovin’
You’re gonna miss, you’re gonna miss my love

You’ll never find another love like mine
Someone who needs you like I do
You’ll never see what you’ve found in me
You’ll keep searching and searching your whole life through
Whoa, I don’t wish you no bad luck, baby
But there’s no ifs and buts or maybes

You’re gonna miss my lovin’
You’re gonna miss my lovin’
I know you’re gonna miss my lovin’
You’re gonna miss, you’re gonna miss my love

As the new year begins, there is a lot of talk of what changes to make this year. For many people it is a time to put renewed effort into relationships…

Amazing words to go forward with in the new year:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…
