Best wishes!

HOW could I have missed greeting you my dear blog friends and readers on two most important occasions: Christmas and New Year? My bad. But the past holidays caught me with all the dizzying activities, family gatherings and of course the presence of all my three kids. Anyhow, it’s better late than never; therefore allow me to extend my best wishes to everyone for the new year – the Year of the Ox.

May year 2009 bring us all excellent health, success and happiness! I don’t want to say that 2008 was bad so I can wish that 2009 will be a good one. For me, each year is good and every new  year will be better.  Now, isn’t this outlook ideal for positive invite? Cheers! )

Do you wish the World were better?
Let me tell you what to do:

 

Set a watch upon your actions,
Keep them always straight and true.
Rid your mind of selfish motives,
Let your thoughts be clean and high.
You can make a little Eden
Of the sphere you occupy.

 

Do you wish the World were wiser?
Then suppose you make a start,

 

By accumulating wisdom
In the scrap book of your heart
. Do not waste one page on folly;
Live to learn and learn to live.
If you want to give men knowledge
You must get it ere you give.

 

Do you wish the World were happy?
Then remember day by day,

 

Just to scatter seeds of kindness,
As you pass along the way.
For the pleasures of the many,
May be oft times traced to one.
As the hand that plants an acorn,
Shelters armies from the sun
