Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. - Helen Keller

Happy New Year!


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 dear, For auld lang syne. We'll take a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp! And surely I'll be mine! And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
We twa hae run about the braes And pou'd the gowans fine. We've wandered mony a weary foot, Sin' auld lang syne.
We twa hae sported i' the burn, From morning sun till dine, But seas between us braid hae roared Sin' auld lang syne.
And ther's a hand, my trusty friend, And gie's a hand o' thine; We'll tak' a right good willie-waught,, For auld lang syne.

I finally did what I have sworn to do for 3 years now, find and read the lyrics to this song because I've never heard anyone actually singing the words, only mumbles past the well known part...(Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne?)...you get the picture. Not that seeing the words help to understand it anymore than I did before...there you have it anyway. Auld Lang Syne

I think I'd rather have a cup of liquor than kindness in a pinch, if I have to pick one.

Happy New Year (belated)

Oh and thanks for visiting. I've bookmarked your blog and it looks pretty cool.
