New Year Quotes
New Year is a time to look back and forwards, reflecting and reviewing. It’s also a time of celebration, frolics, fireworks and maybe some New Year resolutions. Here are 10 of my favourite quirky quotes for the New Year – funny, inspiring and true!

And here’s the complete version of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ as written down by that Scottish reprobate/poet Robbie Burns 😉
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp !
and surely I'll be mine !
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We twa hae run about the braes,
and pu'd the gowans fine ;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit,
sin auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We twa hae paidl'd i’ the burn,
frae morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
sin auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere !
and gie’s a hand o' thine !
And we'll tak a right gude-willy waught,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
