Thoughts for the New Year

This is to wish you a most wonderful New Year for the Year 2003.
(March 3rd is the beginning of Losar, [Tibetan New Year])

What a nice thing this concept of New Year.
We have a chance to make a new beginning.
We have a chance to leave some bad habits.
At least we can make a promise.

What a nice thing this concept of a New Year.
We can rejoice of the promises we kept.
We can forgive the breaches we made.
At least we can make another beginning.

Put off the burden on your mind.
Revive and refresh your inspirations..
Put a song in your heart and smile on your face.
"This year I will do something good for me
and something good for others."

Let us clebrate a Happy New Year.
