HAPPY NEW YEAR

01 Sunday Jan 2017

The miracles, the dedication, and the bountiful blessing of Holy Spirit and the Divinity with no end comes. Thanking God with words is not even enough. God delivers everything that I ask. With my totality, I thank Him. Being on earth for nearly fifty-eight years and healthy is marvellous. My travel in this universe is a splendid one.

2016 has been an excellent year for me. But, it has given me a different aspect of what life is all about – the time to contemplate as I get older happened. My family has always been my priority, their happiness, and well-being. Hang on! Have I think about myself? Have I mainly set plenteous rhythm to myself? Or that cosmos is just merely a form of greediness with cantering voices on my brain? When I was young, I deemed that manner; that ruminating of myself was egotistical. It is not true at all. I cannot forget when my primary teacher in grade five asked the class who was the most important person in life. Each of us answered the same; the parents. Then, my dear ma’am as we called her took a mirror. She stared at herself in the mirror and said, “The person I am looking at is the most important. To be able to love and give it to others; you need to be worthy of yourself.”

One cannot deny that you love because you want it reciprocally. What is the point of giving so much when you don’t get anything in return? I used to think that it is better to give love than to receive. It does not mean materiality. Come to think of it? At this juncture of my existence; yes, I have loved myself that’s why I have given that passion to my family, extended clans, and friends.

Time is essential whether you are young or for a person getting old like me. The many peoples I’ve met whom I did not even know; the places I have been – downright outstanding. In their way, they had given me their time and care. And I am wholly grateful for that. Beneath the grand façade of the beautiful clothes and bling in my life, there is no better way to give love than to spend time with the people dear to me. Being sluggish eating pizza on a rainy day with my family or maybe just walking along the beach laughing. These things are the most enjoyable moments. Seeing my children graduated from the university and have great life – my ultimate aim which I am sure is the same with other parents.

2017 is a new beginning. All the jazz you do and where on earth you are, be optimistic. As the rising sun comes in the Northern Hemisphere, it forty winks on the other periphery. Like any other circumstances, they come and go. Happiness is always in your hands. Take your problems as challenges. Many times, these goals make us shine. Living in a competitive world is tiring, not only in mind but your soul, many people step on each other. But, this must not be the case. Patience and humbleness are the ingredients; they are the nobility of the soul. Those traits will bring anyone yonder ahead of the horizon. Sometimes, things do not happen as we want to – different bearings they come. When it occurs, take it as a better path and not the gloomy one. The road to success may be long, but hardships are part of it. Then, contemplate if the difficulties are worth. It could also be the sign to choose a different avenue. For life must be dealt with enjoyment – just savour the ride. Episodes come even if we don’t want it; they are the spices that make you think and assess. They make you use your talent – digest them as inspirations and not a downfall.

HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR, my wish to you, dearest family and friends. GOD grant us the most fantastic flight; look forward and promenade to the path you are heading. May God grant us PEACE in the world.

ENJOY THE RIDE OF 2017!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Welcoming 2016 with brightness and optimism – love and peace to everyone. My profound jocundity, New Year is fast approaching. Another year nearly is done, and a new beginning awaits. What a joyful moment; my wish this year is the same as all the other years – for love and peace to prevail; success and high quality of life for everyone. My New Year’s Resolution in 2016 – I still have to think for one. Everywhere in the world, we welcome the New Year with bling, sunniness and wish that the year ahead will bring prosperity and good health.

In 2015, many had been lucky. Happy couples got married; children were born and most wishes granted. However, there were also sad events; war, accidents and sickness had taken lives. To live in the safe place is what everyone wants. To have the peace of the world is what every heart longs. We would never know how lucky we are until one can see others mishaps. While we think of what we are going to have on the table on New Year’s Eve, in war-torn countries, people hide to stay alive. It is sad but we can only move forward – hope and pray that the coming year, the whole world will live in comfort and peace.

New Year’s resolution – in previous years, I had plenty. Many New Year’s Eve passed, too long ago: to have good grades at school was the first in my list of which I held on. Oh! I should not forget. Also, I wished to get tall; this one did not happen. I jumped as high as I can every twelve midnights on the opening of the year. But, I am more than happy for what I have; a happy family and good health. God has showered me love and abundance of great friends.

The tradition in the Philippines, greeting the  New Year – what a beautiful realm! I believe that New Year is the extension of Christmas. My father made sure that we celebrate the great Eve with gladness and cheers. Every member of my clan must be present, and even extended family invited. Food and drinks overflow yet again just like Christmas. Relatives not present on the birthday of Jesus will have gifts from my parents. Firecrackers filled the whole neighbourhood. I miss the New Year’s Eve in the Philippines. But, I must admit that fireworks are dangerous and must always be taken care when handling one. Although, I have great memories of New Year every year in different parts of the world, my New Year’s Eve in the Philippines, still is the most magnificent and unbeatable. Fireworks on New Year’s Eve has been years of tradition in the Philippines, but accidents could happen. So please, take care and stay safe.

I WISH YOU A PROSPEROUS AND GREAT LIFE IN 2016. LET’S HOLD HANDS AND MAKE A JOYFUL PLACE TO LIVE – WITH OUR LOVE TO HUMANKIND.

ALL MY LOVE,

VIRGINIA CLOSE
