Happy New Year & Happy New Decade!

Decades!

Another decade has come to a close! In some ways a decade seems like a really long period of time, but as I think more profoundly about the time span in one’s life, we may be lucky enough to experience 8 or 9 decades, or approximately an average of 28,000+ days of life. So far I have lived 24,342 days or approximately 6.6 decades. (Click on this link to find out how many days you have lived so far.) https://www.countcalculate.com/calendar/days-lived

The sound of 2020 is exciting and futuristic to me! It seems like it took a long time to get here! I am still waiting for one invention to arrive in this 21st Century…..that would be “beaming from place to place, via energetic forces and frequencies”, a new way to tune into our GPS, without driving, going to airports, or any other physical form of transportation. I’m not holding my breath for this invention, but maybe by the 22nd Century which begins in the year 2100! Unless some miracles occur I can say with certainty I won’t be living another 80 years to experience “beaming” with my own senses!

We all know the classic song Auld Lang Syne which is sung every New Year, but most of us have no clue what the lyrics mean! We drunkenly sing the words, mostly adding our own words or attempting to sing the lyrics to the sweet melody. It seems every year (including this one) I google what the lyrics are trying to convey! I get the concept, toasting to good ole friends, etc. We all might remember the classic movie scene on New Years Eve with Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal in “When Harry Met Sally”, as they try to figure out what the lyrics of Auld Lang Syne mean.

So, in the past few weeks just for fun I have been working on creating some of my own lyrics for the Auld Lang Syne melody. I will share them in this blog….and if so inclined feel free to sing along to the sweet melody of Auld Lang Syne.

Maybe in this New Year I might create some new melody to go along with my lyrics! I will share it next New Years Eve for all to sing along! In the meantime, let me once again wish you a Happy New Year and New Decade!

“Old Friends”

Lyrics by Marlene Rose Besso 1/4/2020

(Auld Lang Syne suggested melody)

Let’s celebrate this Happy New Year

May it bring you Joy

It’s time to follow all your dreams

And Trust the Universe

Envision and create the life

You dream about each night

And wake unto the morning light

With faith and gratitude

I wish for you a happy life

And all your dreams come true

You are a special soul to me

And all who see your light

I cherish all our memories

We had a good old time

I share some loving-kindness now

And toast to good old friends

It’s time to follow all our dreams

And Trust the Universe

Envision and create the life

We dream about each night
