Sky Watch Friday!!!

Time to share your skies, the beauty over your world, the clouds, the colors! Sky Watch is hosted each week by  the Sky Watch team of  Sandy and I. And this week as every week, we remember Klaus and know that he joins us in spirit! Join us and the many people from all over the world who share theirs with us each week!  http://skyley.blogspot.com/
 Hope your holiday week is going well! Make the most of every day, laugh, love and enjoy!!
One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this:  To rise above the little things.  John Burroughs

We will open the book.  Its pages are blank.  We are going to put words on them ourselves.  The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.  Edith Lovejoy Pierce

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
