Default Desiderata (things to be greatly desired)
On the last day of the year (Hogmanay in Scotland) I thought I would share this inspirational writing by Max Ehrmann with you all. I think there is much wisdom there. And take this opportunity to wish everybody a happy, healthy and successful new year.

Thank you to everyone for their comments. I'm sure we can all see the truth in Ehrmann's poem.
