“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”
- William Arthur Ward
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!
T.T.T
Put up in a place
where it’s easy to see
the cryptic admonishment
T.T.T.
When you feel how depressingly
slowly you climb,
it’s well to remember that
Things Take Time.Piet Hein
A poem that was there in my mailbox
Pieces of me…..
Scattered…..shredded…..
As I gathered these pieces of me from the floor,
I’ve found one piece that has not yet been severed.
It was still in its perfectly-formed shape;
has not been shredded, or trampled into pieces.
I picked it up and looked at it closely -
I realized, it was MY smile.
I shall sew these pieces of myself together
to form a comfortable quilt.
It is going to be colourful.
It is going to be warm.
And of course - “The Smile” -
It is going to be there.
You are welcome to join me -
but only you mustn’t be miserable.
Heard a nice simile on sense of humor.
Javed Akhtar was saying - sense of humor is needed more in difficult time of life than when you are happy. It is like the shock absorbers in a car. when the road is smooth, you don’t need them. But on a bumpy road….. 
a humorless person’s life in difficult times is going to be .. khut khut khut
