BUON NUOVO ANNO!

May it be better not bitter!

Sole e Gioia

Buon Nuovo Anno!

Mi auguri per te e gioia!

Everyone needs to have Joy in their lives and my hope for 2008 is that ALL those I know and love (what the hell-even those I only sorta like) have a year filled with joy beyond their imagination! I have a secret ( Well not really secret) wish for myself and I know it is going to happen I just don't know when-as my old friend T.P. says "The waiting is the hardest part..." Well I'm not waiting to live anymore! Life is short and you only get one shot. I've ridded myself of a weight and I should be soaring with the eagles not scratching the ground with the chickens. I wish the same for all of you! Vivere tu vito! Eat something new! Make a new friend! Enjoy an old one! LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF! Love those whom fate has bound you too! Life is a journey enjoy the trip!

Alright enough prostlytizing-so stop reading and do something GRAND!

SNOW DAY!

Today...I wish you a day of ordinary miracles- A fresh pot of coffee you didn't have to make yourself. An unexpected phone call from an old friend. Green stoplights on your way to work or shop. I wish you a day of little things to rejoice in... The fastest line at the grocery store. A good sing along song on the radio. Your keys right where you look. I wish you a day of happiness and perfection-little bite-size pieces of perfection that give you the funny feeling that the Lord is smiling on you, holding you so gently because you are someone special and rare. I wish You a day of Peace, Happiness and Joy. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Wishing you the very best and.... Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!
