Resolutions and Auld Lang Syne ... from MORALES!

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. - Bill Vaughan

Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right. -Oprah Winfrey

Many people look forward to the New Year for a new start on old habits.-Anonymous

May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions! -Joey Adams

I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.  -Anais Nin

Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.  -Oscar Wilde

A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one Year and out the other. -Anonymous

The song was played in When Harry Met Sally (1989) at the New Year's party in which Harry states he never fully understood what the song meant. He says, "I mean, 'Should old acquaintance be forgot?' Does that mean that we should forget old acquaintances, or does it mean if we happened to forget them, we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot 'em?"

Whatever it means... Don't Forget to Remember me!

As the years go by, my work brings many new faces my way, people I first meet as clients,
but soon count amongst my circle of friends.  Getting to know you has been a pleasure,
and serving you a privilege. 

Wishing you all the things that make the season worth celebrating!!
