I couldn't resist the temptation to send this. There are so many people on
this list that I know, but haven't seen or talked to in ages. I wish you
all a happy new year and I pray that it is a successful one.

>>> Around the Corner: By Henson Towne
>>>
>>> 'Around the corner I have a friend,
>>> In this great city that has no end
>>> Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
>>> And before I know it, a year is gone.
>>> And I never see my old friend's face,
>>> For life is a swift and terrible race,
>>> He knows I like him just as well,
>>> As in the days when I rang his bell,
>>> And he rang mine.
>>> We were younger then,
>>> And now we are busy, tired men.
>>> Tired of playing a foolish game,
>>> Tired of trying to make a name.
>>> "Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim"
>>> But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
>>> And distance between us grows and grows.
>>> Around the corner! - yet miles away.
>>> "Here's a telegram sir-"
>>> "Jim died today."
>>> And that's what we get and deserve in the end-
>>> Around the corner, a vanished friend.'
>>> >
>>> If you love someone, tell them. Remember always to say what you mean.
>>> Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this opportunity to tell
>>> someone what they mean to you. Seize the day and have no regrets.
>>> Don't wait to be given, give.
>>> Don't wait to be loved, love.
>>> Don't wait to be asked, ask.
>>> Don't wait to be chosen, choose.
>>> There is a greater blessing in giving than in receiving!!!
>>> >
>>> Most importantly, stay close to your family and friends, for they have
>>> helped make you the person that you are today and they are what love is
>>> all about anyway. Pass this along to your friends. Let it make a
>>> difference in your day and theirs. The difference between expressing
>>> love and having regrets which may stay around forever.
>>> >
>>> This is a love chain letter. If you do not send it, you will have
>>> once again passed up the opportunity to do something loving and
>>> beautiful and continue the trend that gives you problems in your
>>> relationships. If you have received this it is because someone cares
>>> for you and it means there is probably at least someone for whom you
>>> care. If you're too busy to take the few minutes that it would take
>>> right now to forward this to
>>> someone, would it be the first time you didn't do that little thing
>>> that would make a difference in your relationships? I can tell you it
>>> certainly won't be the last. All the same, take this opportunity to
>>> set a new trend. Take a few minutes to send this to a few people you
>>> care about just to let them know that you're thinking of them. It's
>>> even better if they're not the people you already correspond with every
>>> day/week.
>>> >
>>> May LOVE litter your life with Blessings.
