Life is short and uncertain,

Break the rules,

Forgive quickly,

Kiss slowly,

Love truly,

Laugh uncontrollably,

And never regret anything that made you smile.

Don't miss the 9 requisites for contented living by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe :-

Health enough to make work a pleasure.

Wealth enough to support your needs.

Strength enough to battle with difficulties and overcome them.

Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them

Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished.

Charity enough to see some some good in your neighbour.

Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others,

Faith enough to make real the things of God.

Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.


Yours Sincerely ( Y S ) gets solemn, melancholic and philosophical as the year grinds to an end. So many thoughts and memories mull in his soul and spirit. What will the new year, 2011, brings ?

Let's rest our uncertainties in the Good Lord, Our God. And take the bull by its horns. Come what may. !
