I've learned over the years never to dare make predictions — but I do have to say, if I may, that I have the genuine sense that we may see a few miracles before us this coming year.

Some of these may be spontaneous, and some may be births that are a little difficult. But for the first time in quite a while, I have the sense of real optimism and the perception of major, irreversible changes, all of which will be good ones.

I'm with you on that one Bill.

There are going to be some major flops for negative actions.
These in turn will let some BIG CAT's out of the bag for all to see.

Also have to say, I have never had Butterfly's in my gut before a New year o.0

Much love to all, it's been a fascinating time lately, and hopefully we've turned a corner (and not gone round the bend)!!!
Here's to positivity, health, and happiness to us all. ❤

Jules, I just made my black eyed peas this afternoon. It's good to hear from someone else who follows that tradition. I do like the taste, and just use a bay leaf, a little broth and, maybe some ham instead of the "salt pork" I used to use. Clearly, I am not a vegetarian! ✌️
I am encouraged by others' optimistic postings about the new year because I have a very good feeling about the coming year, too. Peace and good wishes to all.

Seems I’m not the only one here to resonate with this. Recently I’ve had a similar feeling. As though a threshold has been crossed, and for the better. As though something has been anchored. A seed that is germinating, making its way to the surface and the light. There’s certainly been enough heavy duty muck to transmute during the process.



Blessings to all for an uplifting New Year, and enlightening journey through 2017...
With my personal gratitude for our magnificent earth, a cosmic jewel,
her divine sentient beings and life-giving waters









Thank you all for being here, and being true to your hearts

As we enter 2017 Vladimir Putin is enemy number 1'ish , the title he has held
according to the White House and others, on and off over the past two decades.
He may well have his faults but he has been elected democratically and the
cold war rhetoric and hype by the alpha bet agencies and western media is just
as damaging in creating another cold war mentality , which only feeds the mil
ind complex's , Bankster's and TPTB......Any way I did not mean to politicise
this thread but these are interesting times we are living thru............

So this is what the mainstream would have us believe is the devil incarnet......
As Donald would say..." So Sad "....................

Happy New Year dear "Down-Undereans!"

Let year 2017 be the year of the flat earth theory! LOL No just making a really horrible joke... Happy New Year everyone!!

Happy New Year to all Avalonians and guests. May 2017 be your best year yet.
Here is the traditional Scottish version of Auld Lang Syne.

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=TWT-4UTwdE8

And here are the words, with modern English translation following:

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

And surely you'll be your pint stoup,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

Chorus

We twa hae ran about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.

Chorus

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun til dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.

Chorus

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o' thine,
And we'll tak a right gude willie waught
For auld lang syne!

Chorus

Meaning of unusual words:
Auld lang syne = Former days and friends
jo = dear
stoup = tankard
gowans = daisies
braid = broad
Gude willie waught = friendly draught

Here is the "translation" into modern English. There is no doubt that Burns did it better!

Days Long Ago

Should old acquaintances be forgotten
And never be remembered?
Should old acquaintances be forgotten
and days long ago.

Chorus:
For days long ago, my dear,
For days long ago
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For days long ago!

And surely you'll have your pint tankard
And surely I'll have mine.
And we'll drink a cup of kindness yet
For days long ago.

Chorus

We two have run about the hills
And pulled the daisies fine
But we've wandered many a weary mile
Since the days long ago.

Chorus

We two have paddled in the stream
From morning sun till dinner-time
But the broad seas have roared between us
Since the days long ago.

Chorus

And here's my hand, my trusty friend,
And give me your hand too,
And we will take an excellent good-will drink
For the days of long ago.
