as we approach the eve
\nof ushering out the old
\nand to welcoming the new
\nlet us make a vow
\nyou and I<\/p>\n
to a year of living dangerously
\nthrowing caution to the wind
\nliving with reckless abandon<\/p>\n
here’s to a year
\ndangerously wild
\nand deliciously free<\/p>\n
here’s to living dangerously open
\nto all that is good and wonderful<\/p>\n
to being dangerously\u00a0kind
\nwithout reason or reward<\/p>\n
here’s to dangerously stepping out
\nwithout fear
\nor maybe more to feeling the fear
\nand to stepping out anyway<\/p>\n
here’s to dangerously\u00a0accepting
\nwhen kindness is shown or love is given<\/p>\n
here’s to dangerously
\noffering both
\nto oneself
\nand to recognizing, \u00a0who needs it most<\/p>\n
here’s to dangerously
\nletting it all go
\nreleasing the wanting, and the worrying and the wait
\nand instead to a gentle
\ninviting, and acknowledging and appreciating<\/p>\n
here’s to the delicious freedom
\nthat comes from
\nsimply breathing in Peace
\nand then
\nto\u00a0breathing out
\nLove<\/p>\n
here’s to cautiously acknowledging
\nthe wrongs of the world
\nbut choosing instead to look for
\nlight<\/p>\n
here’s to recklessly abandoning
\nthe need for score cards
\nwhen it comes to those we love
\nand instead to cherishing all those things
\nthat make them wonderful<\/p>\n
here’s to delights and desserts and desires<\/p>\n
here’s to luscious and lovely \u00a0and luminous<\/p>\n
here’s to friendships and frailty
\nand familiar<\/p>\n
here’s to open hearts and open minds
\nand open … windows<\/p>\n
here’s to utter Joys and absolute bliss<\/p>\n
here’s to sending ‘I love you’s’ \u00a0that may never come back
\nbut to leave them floating anyway,
\njust above the clouds …
\nso you’ll know where to find them<\/p>\n
here’s to being brave
\nand compassionate
\nand sincere<\/p>\n
here’s to dangerously showing yourself
\nto the world
\nto wearing your heart on your sleeve
\nto wadding through uncertainty
\nand to walking in sunshine<\/p>\n
here’s to honesty, acceptance
\nand Love<\/p>\n
and here’s to you my friend
\nMay you have a
\nmost
\ndangerous year \u2665<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
.. whew, \u00a0suddenly that seems like a lot of drinks …<\/p>\n
