A Brand New Year

There's something about a brand new year-

It kindles hope, sets goals & ushers cheer.

Like all things new, like a new dress or toy,

A new year's fragrance & idea, too, brings joy!

"Speak the truth - support honesty,

Without being deterred by the noise.

Empathy & character are your richness.

Integrity, hard-work, discipline...are choice."

He reposes tremendous faith & confidence,

Celebrating enthusiasm & trust, we rejoice.

He values his girls- no way inferior to boys.

My 5 Wishes For 2018

I have many wishes for 2018. I have shared some in my post- This New Year 2018...

Here are 5 important wishes:

1. Work for Health
"Health is wealth". Being healthy has its advantages that we all can enjoy. 
Sincerely pray that 2018 is a healthy year for all. That will ensure a healthy nation and world.

2. Pursue Likes & Work with Love
"Try to get what you like, else you'll be forced to like what you get." It is important to do what one enjoys & stay away from all what pulls one down. That will ensure better performance & success. I wish that may everyone get to do what they like, and work with love to ensure lovely work!

3. Laugh more & spread Happiness
Happiness is within. Share the joy and win! I wish for smiles across the miles for a smiley world where happiness is the choice!

Are you grounded by responsibility?

Or the past & wallowing in self-pity?

Time to fly! Come on, defy gravity!

Wish Joy And Warmth!

People ought to have hearts of gold!
Why is everyone's behaviour so cold?

Is it tough to adopt warmth as a habit?
Can't we be warm people, bit by bit?

Unfortunately, many haven't any time to stare,
Won't we try to incorporate some care?

Time is ticking, someone wishes joy now.
Can't we afford some warm-wishes anyhow?

A Wish That Came True!

Last morning, when Papa & I woke up, we realized that our souls had been exchanged!

As he is so smart & intelligent, I had often wondered how life would be to be in his shoes!
