On Being Optimistic

Do you have a happy Christmas? I think I have a happy, contented Christmas. Some people aren't happy with what they have and received they probably replaced those gifts on Boxing Day. Then here comes the New Year. There's no gift-giving or gift-receiving in the New Year but there'll be lots of people celebrating it with wines or any kind of alcoholic beverages, the normal usual way every year that's the same old rule for the traditionalist or for cultural purposes meaning it is customary. Customary in the sense that it is their beliefs, inherited or passed through by their elders and ancestors to the next of kin.

Firecrackers, fireworks and other loud noise are a must for those who believed that those loud source of noise will bring in fortune and drive away bad spirit.

Maybe we'll just beat the drum, the metal pots and pans or kettles to make noise. How about loud music? Disco music is a great sound-blasting noise to make our New Year more fun than ever.

Whatever! I will cook some special food for the New Year and share them with my family. Solemn prayer of hope, gratitude, healthy mind and body and a happy, prosperous New Year of 2017 to all of us.

Time will pass and we'll look back from the past that everything will go on. Today is a new day and hours are passing by, days will passed by and the next thing you know it will always be a brand new day, a brand new year full of hope and happiness, after another.

Don't you remember it's always been that way?
