Year starter

For 2016, and the hopefully many years that will follow, I will choose a life that overflows. •

I choose to grow each day
To be purposeful at work and play
And throughout life’s highs and lows
I choose a life that overflows

I choose to take steps forward
To make sure each day is fully explored
And whether I meet with joys or sorrows
I choose a life that overflows

I know that no diligence is wasted
That little by little goes far when added
I know that goodness echoes
So I choose a life that overflows

Someday I’ll look back
At my well-traveled track
I’ll beam because my heart knows
I chose a life that overflows
