Down - Quotes
Stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps. Our promises made and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures or closed ourself down for fear of getting hurt. Because that`s What New Year`s is all about. Getting another chance. A chance to forgive. To do better, to do more, to give more, to love more. And to stop worrying about "what if" and start embracing what will be. So when that ball drops at midnight and it will drop let`s remember to be nice to each other. Kind to each other. And not just tonight, but all year long.

Well, that`s what love is like. It makes your heart race. It turns the world upside down. But if you`re not careful, if you don`t keep your eyes on something still, you can lose your balance. You can`t see what`s happening to the people around you. You can`t see that you`re about to fall.

Love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
Star and angels gave the sign.
