Happy 2009 ... and that it never rains when you go out without an umbrella! While they are inundated with greetings via SMS, e-mail, by telephone, by messenger, by land, sea and Air, I try to remember from which year I'm writing. So, let's see ... it should be after 2007 and before 2012. What then, what's the difference? I mean, the good wishes that you do in these cases are always the same: I wish you a wonderful 2009. May the new year will bring joy and serenity. May the new year is to achieve all your desires. helmet there too and I have sent messages of this kind. Then I hear on TV or the radio and music is always the same: that the new year be a year of peace, who bring more jobs, better health, lower taxes, less problems ...
But in the cold I remember some itchy brain, and began to fuss and become red, and to feel a slight discomfort in the gums and nausea. And I write to free myself from the unpleasant sensation of the project, addressing an imaginary friend: I wish you a 2009
layer. What is the best year of your entire life. Indeed, the existence of all your past and future generations. May you find a job if you do not have. And if you have one you can win the lottery € 189 billion (so as to be able to leave work and live pasha on a yacht parked in front of the greek Egadi). May you find a boy / girl if you do not have to. You can get married if you have one. May you enjoy good health for 360 days a year (I leave 5 days free for the common cold). In fact, that your whole entire family and all your friends can enjoy good health throughout the year. That nobody gets sick, no one goes to the hospital, which no one enters into a depression, no one dies. I hope you realize all your dreams in one fell swoop, or if you prefer, in twelve monthly installments. We hope to be always happy, never discouraged, always happy, never sad, always happy, never disappointed. May the Lord bless you with every blessing in heaven and on earth. What zodiac signs will be permanently favorable. That all the people you know you are turning with gentleness and love, you stretch out the red carpet at his feet and proclaim to the world that You are perfection down to the ground. That it never rains when you go out without an umbrella. That no earthquake dare move the pictures on the walls of your apartment. That no thief violates your house or your car. You never let the mail file or database. That the grocer in the home is always nice to you. So the gatekeeper. And so the accountant. So all. I hope you wake up every morning without feeling the heaviness of sleep. And the lines are away from your face. And that your favorite team win league, Italian Cup and Champions League. And all the movies you go see the movies excite you. And all the restaurants are fabulous and enter. And much, much, much more ...
Ah ... now that I vented I'll tell you, imaginary friend, a couple of things I think. And keep your ears open well why do not you repeat it twice.
I wish for the coming year to achieve some of your dreams. Certainly not all, why else would finiresti dreaming and death for your soul. One or two are enough, than smaller ones that warm the heart. I wish you ill, mild and transient, minor illnesses that make you remember the gift of health and make you think that nothing is obvious (even the fact that your body works perfectly). I wish you not to not suffer, because suffering sooner or later you will visit, but with courage to face serenity and the suffering that you will face. I hope you learn from your mistakes, why go wrong. We hope to capture as an opportunity for personal growth quarrels and misunderstandings that will arise in relations with other people. We hope to carry on with dignity the work you are doing to improve your condition if you can, and accept it as is if you can not. I wish you to seek God Sembera Even when you do not hear his voice. Even when you doubt its existence. I wish to question. I wish to try the patience in adversity. To preserve hope in the days of storm. To bring a book to read when you go to the post, because it is almost sure you'll find a row. To think, when you wake up and feel the heaviness of sleep, which in a few hours pass. Bad movie to watch, so you can have a proper parameter for assessment and then get excited when you see those beautiful. I wish you to be joyful and to live honestly the moments of despair. The people you care about get sick. Perhaps someone will die. You will not always work and difficulties in family relationships will be idyllic. Do you happen to go out without an umbrella on a rainy day. And you can not rule out that some thief robbing your apartment. The world will continue to make war. Bombs rain down from heaven and people continue to die of hunger. There will still be unemployed, the homeless, AIDS patients, suicides. The earth will turn around the sun. There will be bora in Trieste. High water in Venice. The hot summer and cold in winter. But I hope to love. Just this. I hope you know how to love. To learn to love. To remember how to love. Whether it be a year full of love. Despite everything else. Everything else will come, even if you do not, we will, even if you believe that is incorrect, you will find, even if you have not tried. But that will never stop you remember who you are: a man who lives, another year ... and nothing can be more wonderful.
