Wishes for the New Year
Hello in the New Year! This is my first article since this year has begun.
How are you feeling? Hope, all very well, enthusiastic, full of energy that you have been recharging during the last few weeks, and also full of renewed belief in magic, in dreams, in good things in the world.
I crossed the path from the last year into the new one here on the island, once again, where at the very midnight the sky started to shine with many more stars than the other days. Also here people welcome New Year with lots of fireworks, bottles of Champagne or Prosecco or anything sparkling, there’s a lot of joy and love in the air, lots of new hopes and wishes being sent up into the Universe…
We celebrated this special moment and the night here, by us, in our little house and outside in the garden… At the stroke of the midnight we opened our sparkling bottle and with a glass full of joyful bubbles in our hands, our heads turned up to the sky, hearts filled with gratitude, wide smile on our faces, we toasted to the New Year and sent a wish for all the best for all of us…
May our dreams and wishes come true, may this year be an amazing adventure, lived according to the voice of our hearts, lived in each moment to the fullest, may we be the best inspiration to others.
A few days after, we made one of our favorite longer walks, across one of the local hills to another village… There, as a bonus, we stopped for a glass of wine, to make more toasts, to celebrate this year…
As we were sitting there, savoring sips of local wine, the view of the glittering coast in a far away distance, the calmness in air, which always appears after all the Christmas anticipation and rush to get everything ready in time, I was also observing people, who were coming for their afternoon coffee shots or a chat with a friend on the pavement in front of the Café, wishing “auguri” and all the best…
There were people talking and there were also people, who, instead of sharing with the person close to them, were scrolling on their phones, absently drinking whatever they ordered.
And so, I spontaneously proposed another toast, another wish for this Year:
I wish that people start again share more personally and less on their phones. I wish that I can observe again more people who are talking with a friend over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine or reading a book or just enjoying the present moment, doing nothing else than simply being there for real…
I am truly grateful for all the great inventions that help us in many ways, but I simply wish, that we remember that they were created to make our lives better, larger, more colorful, they were meant to help us to connect with others and not the other way around.
Since I was a child I believe that wishes come true. I know that it depends on the stars and the Universe, but I know now, it also depends on us.
So, I make one more toast:
Let’s make the most of every moment of this year, let’s be the ones, who help the stars and the Universe to let our dreams and wishes and the dreams and wishes of others come true. Let’s be the best inspiration, the best example of what we wish to see around us.
And of course, Happy New Year!
With love (and a glass of something sparkling)
