Happy New Year:: Welcome 2013

May God make your year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
but by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy,
but by making you sturdy to travel any path;
Not by taking hardships away from you,
but by taking away fear from your heart;
Not by granting you undying love of your dear ones,
but by enabling you to appreciate the love in all your relationships;
Not by making all your endeavors successful,
but by giving you the wisdom to learn from your failures;
Not by giving you perfect health devoid of pain,
but by enabling you to smile through it all;
Not by lavishing you with immeasurable wealth,
but by equipping you with the will and skill to earn what you need;
Not by granting your every wish and whim,
but by filling your heart with kindness and generosity for all;
Not by satisfying all your needs,
but by helping you discover the joys of sharing;
Not by blessing you with unlimited knowledge;
but by giving you the insight to know yourself and your purpose for existence.

A New Year means new possibilities, new relationships and new opportunities.
May your New Year be truly new.
