A welcome new year
The past year had lots of surprises for many of us . both good and
unpleasant.yet we have battled against all odds to adjust and carry on.Some
efforts were sucessful, others not . leaving us in pain and anguish to just
drag on and acept the inevitable,We called it will of God or better still
bad luck, and resigned to our detiny
The new year , is unknown and that fills us with hope and expectations to a
better year ahead.It is the hope and trust that make our new year filled
with joy and happiness
We want everything new and renewed arond us. We will burn symbolically poor
old man to ashes, with great funfare, announcing that old is displaced by
new, what ever that signifies This act makes feel renewed with vigour
Let us then cast out all that is evil within us, negative thoughts and
actions, envy, jealousy, pride and arrogance, our superiority, hatred and
anger, revenge and opportunity to strike back, It is only when we replace
our desires with love and good will Let us then burn our enmities and offer
the hand of friendship, without reservation
expectations
It is only when we CHANGE in our knowledge perceptions, attitudes, and
behaviour, we will admire the joy and happiness within ourselves, and see a
sea of change,in the world around us
Let us then try and forget and forgive with a generous heart, It is surely
contagious phenomenon that spreads happiness like a wild fire
To all our friends, the best in the new year 2016
