New Year’s Toast

New Year’s Toast

By Joanna Fuchs

Here’s to the new year…

frohes-neues-jahr-0027

May it bring more joy and success
And less grief and regret.

To our dreams…

animated-sheep-image-00271
May we never stop believing in them
And taking the actions that will make them a reality.

To our friends, loved ones, associates (or colleagues)…

friends10
May we take the time to let them know
How much it means to us
To have them in our lives.

Let us encourage more and criticize less,

friends11
Give more and need less.
And whenever we can,
Let us create harmony and peace.

Let us start fresh, right now,
To make this the very best year ever.

A very Happy New Year to all of us!

World Peace & Harmony – Shyamli Suneesh

Peace is glory, peace is dignity,
peace is love and peace is amity.

Birds fly freely high up in the blue sky,
Flowers bloom and cherish when spring arrives.
Dews settle on leaves with deliberate happiness,
As bees buzz excited around their hives.

Why aren’t we as happy as they are?
So free, so elated
and no complaints at all.

Take the morning paper in your hand
and you’d find destruction all over land,
going around in evil bands
making peace and harmony banned.

War, conflict and destruction everywhere
arresting our accord even while asleep
Oh! God now is so very rare
And is peace today that hard to keep?

People are killed
every now and then.
Oh! Isn’t there anyone who’s skilled,
to place the eminent gem
of tranquility and unity.

I woke up today morning,
to enjoy Mother Breeze.
She says if we’d stop roaring
and take everything with ease,
we’d surely succeed in gaining world peace

As trees and flowers sway
and the wind runs over my face
It brings in a new ray of hope
that world peace can still return

“May the World Live in Peace and Harmony”

– Shyamli Suneesh

Think love,

Think peace,

Think harmony.

“Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up.” – Allen Klein
