2014.....Begin with a Hope

HOPE is what I wish for in the life of all my friends here...over and above all other wishes. Why? It's because Hope is kind. Hope is patient. Hope is not proud. Hope does not envy...does not boast...does not offer false smiles. Hope is not rude...It is not easily angered...It is not self-absorbed. Hope keeps no records of wrongs and sins. Hope does not delight in the evil but rejoices with the silent opening of a new bud. Hope always perseveres.

Let us hope this new year opens a gateway to a new milieu, a new locale, a new surrounding, a new place...where we all meet again, make new memories, and relive the fantastic memories we made here in PV forum.

...I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart aspires to be...


HAPPY NEW YEAR.

"Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all."

"When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope."

"Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic."

"In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe."

"TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.

What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places"and there are so many"where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

"May Light always surround you;

Hope kindle and rebound you.

May your Hurts turn to Healing;

Your Heart embrace Feeling.

May Wounds become Wisdom;

Every Kindness a Prism.

May Laughter infect you;

Your Passion resurrect you.

May Goodness inspire

your Deepest Desires.

Through all that you Reach For,

May your arms Never Tire."

Happy New Year!😃
