<\/p>\n

To most this symbolizes the last day of the year. To others in cultures different than ours, it can mean something totally different. It’s all in the perception and how we look at things. I choose to look at today as a gift.<\/p>\n

A gift of Life.<\/p>\n

You see today is the day my parents gave birth to me.<\/p>\n

And I am so happy and grateful that I am healthy and here on this planet to celebrate this day with my friends and my family.<\/p>\n

The gift of Life.<\/p>\n

How precious and sweet.<\/p>\n

Cherish it.<\/p>\n

Don’t waste it on regrets and anger.<\/p>\n

Be grateful for everything , even the bad times.<\/p>\n

Find the good.<\/p>\n

The gift of Life.<\/p>\n

Call your Mother and thank her for this gift.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately , I cannot physically call my Mom this year. But I can sure connect with her through prayer
and through the spirit world that operates around us.<\/p>\n

Thank you Mom for the gift of my Life.<\/p>\n

December 31st, a day for fun, a day for some to create new goals, hopes and dreams, a day for saying goodbye to the past year and all that it brought us – what does December 31st mean to me?<\/p>\n

A Day of Love, the day my parents gave Me Love and brought me into this world to realize all my dreams, make a difference in the world in which I came, and to give LOVE to this world.<\/p>\n

Happy New Year, Happy Dreams, Happy Life!<\/p>\n
