We are only few days apart from the end of the year. I have spent here at Sc only 4 months of this 2006 and yet i met here more friends and just plain good people than during the other 8 months. I have exchanged so many emotions and learned so many other realities that seems i have been here for more than that. Its good. I like to feel in this way.
All of us have fears regrets, dreams, decisions, hopes and happiness. We just try to do our best.
There are people within us who are facing difficulties and dramatic moments: serious illness, abandons, divorces, wrong relationships, dreadful jobs, passionless marriages, far away soulmates, financial difficulties, loneliness, depression, anger.
Others are experiencing some of the best moments of their life: becoming pregnant, becoming uncle, being promoted, finding a new job, having a wonderful Xmas, keeping their children safe and healthy, starting a new business...simply making it with dignity and a smile up to now.
Who knows what the future will bring to all of us tomorrow?
Who knwo if we will stick together or if we will leave this place and never hear of each other anymore. Who will find a new love, a new house, a new meaning in life? Who will finally decide where to live for the rest of their years? Who will smile? Who will cry?
Life is this: a mistery. Uncertain, fragile, delicate and scary.
For all of us, and for me too, tonight i found appropriate these words from the great poet Maya Angelou. I want dedicate them to all of you with my best wishes for a wonderful new year.
Lets go grab our life and do with her the best we can.
Lets strive to be the best we can be.
Maya Angelou said this:
"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."
"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."
"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."
"I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life."
"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."
"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."
"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."
"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."
"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.
People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."
"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Have a very happy New Year....:-)
