Dear Friends,
I would like to wish everyone a very happy New Year 2009! I know that year 2008 hasn’t been “all good”, but we all have blessings in our lives and we should try and concentrate on those. We should always try and retain an ability to enjoy every moment of our life! William Blake, an English poet and painter, wrote:

“To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
An Eternity in an hour”

Enjoy the tickle of a morning sun and summer rain; enjoy the dance of the autumn leaves; enjoy every smile that ever shared with you; and remember every moment that inspires you! Sri Sathya Sai Baba, a South Indian Guru and Religious Leader, says:

“You have in your power to make your life on Earth a path of flowers,
Instead of a path of thorns”

Make the year 2009 the best year yet! Enjoy your family, enjoy your life, enjoy every second of it and live it to the fullest! Alfred Lord Tennyson, an English poet wrote:
“I am a part of all that I have met”

Live a life and give back, so everyone who you have met on your life path remembers you, remembers your kindness, your love, your ability to give and your thoughtfulness. From Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor:

“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be ONE”

Some of us had a tough year; some of us had a great joy of new tiny precious life. We all go through black and white stripes in life, and sometimes it so seems that “black” will never end. But listen to the wisdom of Hal Borland, American author:

“No winter lasts forever;
No spring skips its turn”

I know that all of us have wisdom within us to enjoy each day in life! Share love, laughter, kindness and joy. Lean on good friends when in need and don’t feel alone – someone will always be there to support you. Enjoy life! From Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Philosopher:

“The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common”

Happy New Year 2009! All the best to you and your loved ones! Peace, love, laughter and joy!
