    Happy New Year! Stayed in last night after an early evening church service. Cold in the teens today, so staying inside and cozy.

    Happy New Year!

    We usually use this Scottish toast as the toast to the New Year, so here is my toast to you all:

    A Traditional Scottish Toast
    May the best ye've ever seen
    Be the worst ye'll ever see
    May a moose ne'er leave yer girnal
    Wi' a tear drap in his e'e
    May ye aye keep hale an' he'rty
    Till ye're auld eneuch tae dee
    May ye aye be jist as happy
    As we wish ye aye tae be
    -------------------------------------
    In plain English
    May the best you have ever seen
    Be the worst you will ever see
    May a mouse never leave your girnal (pantry)
    With a tear drop in his eye

    May you always keep hale and hearty
    Till you are old enough to die
    May you always be just as happy
    As we wish you always to be

    Wishing all we Simple Live-rs the Happiest of New Years. I enjoy you and your thoughtful posts.

    My mantra has always been "I'm odd in odd years," so I really welcome in this new even year! Wishing for more kindness and peace in the world--which I'll do my personal best to embody, too!
    peaceful, easy feeling

    That was nice, Catherine. I struggled to decrypt before realizing that the translation was right below!
