Hey, I am back up and running!

My apologies to Karen's Korner readers for being 'off the air' since mid-December. There was problems with my server and the only 'readers' I could contact were the ones who emailed me wondering what was happening. Son-in-law Tim got me up and running again on Saturday.

I had several good potential Christmas 'korners' but Christmas 2018 is coming.

Instead we will welcome 2018! This is something sent to me by a friend yesterday. It is a poem complete with You Tube graphics. Here are the words:

NEW YEAR'S PRAYER

By Charlotte Anselmo

Thank You Lord for giving me

The brand new year ahead

Help me live the way I should

In each new day I tread.

Give me genuine wisdom

That I make help a friend

Give me strength and courage

So a shoulder I might lend.

The year ahead is empty

Help me fill it with good things

Each new day filled with joy

And the happiness it brings.

Please give the leaders of the world

A courage born of peace

That they might lead

And all the fighting cease.

Please give all upon the earth

A heart that's filled with love

A gentle way to live

With blessings from above.....
