SHUBODAYAM.....Gift of a New Year

[Guest guest]

Here's to the outgoing year, 2008:

May the good times live on in our memories,

and may we learn lessons from the troubling times

that will make us stronger and better than ever.

 

Here's to 2009: For each and every one of you,

may it be filled with significant steps

toward the fulfillment of your fondest wishes.

In this coming new year,

let us focus on our goals and work toward our dreams, let's all try to go with the flow a little more

and stress a little less.

Here's to the new year, 2009,

a gift we haven't opened yet.

May its bright, shiny package

contain even more than we hope for.

 

And even while we're delighting in new treasures,

let's appreciate fully what we already have—

the blessings we take for granted.

Make a list, and check it twice.
