but it's the first day of the New Year and one cannot help the quickening of the heart and the sudden intake of breath when the two needles of the clock come together on 12 and the calendar clicks to 2013...
It is just another day, but one cannot help hoping that the New Year will erase all that was sad, bad, and hurtful - no more dark or even cloudy days - and there will only be sunshine and happy days...
It's just another day, but one wishes that people all over the world will work towards peace - we just have to ensure that there is peace in our immediate vicinity, no matter where we are at the moment - and the collective effort will bring a measure of peace to the world...
It's just another day...of hope, of fear, of anticipation, of doubtfulness..........for the 365 days ahead...
It's just another day, but we can make it better for someone...and we can make it better for ourselves...
