Happy New Year 2015!



Another year starts and with it, new hopes and aspirations 
– a faint desire that sprouts in every human heart 
that speaks of happiness, prosperity and goodness to come.

The year gone-by might have shown grim state of affairs around the world
 with one tragedy after another, millions of refugees, 
tragedy and human failures never ceasing to seize the headlines.

But the excitement of a new year brings about an anticipation of a better future. 
This is one real moment that will touch the fabrics of human emotions 
that entails not only hope, but a reason to keep smiling and living life as it is.

 "Let our New Year's resolution be this: 
we will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, 
in the finest sense of the word."
--Goran Persson, former Prime Minister of Sweden

And now I welcome the new year
with
Johann Strauss's Polka "Im Krapfenwaldl"




May 2015 greet you with days as fragrant as roses, 

 


as colorful as rainbow,

 


as bright as sunshine and as happy and cheerful as a lark.






 And may this year will give you the opportunity to realise your dreams, 
rediscover your strengths, muster your willpower 
and rejoice the simple pleasures that life would bring your way.
