As we enter a new year filled with joy and hope, some inspiring words from our fellow scribes to give our own words wings:

“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, twentieth-century poet

“And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.”
Maria Rainer Rilke

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.”
Neil Gaiman

“Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.”
Helen Keller

“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, ‘It will be happier.'”
Alfred Lord Tennyson

“Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing. Believe in yourself. And believe that there is a loving Source — a Sower of Dreams — just waiting to be asked to help you make your dreams come true.”
Sarah Ban Breathnach

“This is the beginning of anything you want. 12 new chapters, 365 new chances.”   The Local, coffee cafe

“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

May your fresh new yea be filled with joy, productivity, and completion. Write on!
