2017 - Be Good To Me ...

Another year has passed. Full of joy and laughter, tears and fears ... strength and weaknesses, success and failures. Abundance in cash and kind. New experiences. New friends. Lots of patience. Resilience. Diplomacy and tact. Afterthoughts. Guilt. Regrets. Love. Farewells. In short, 2016 is the end of most things. May 2017 is the start of many new beginnings of things to come. With grace and guidance from Allah, everything is possible. Anything is possible.

Thus, I welcome 2017 ... be good to me. So many things will happen and I pray for the strength, patience, guidance and resilience to face them with much tolerance and diplomacy. Happy 2017 everybody ...  whether you are alone or with friends. Remember this song???

"Should all acquaintance be forgot
  And never brought to mind?
  Should all acquaintance be forgot
  And auld lang syne ... "

"The phrase "for auld lang syne" essentially boils down to "for (the sake of) old times". It's a work which essentially calls for the preservation of our oldest, dearest friendships; perhaps observed in the reflective quality of New Year's Eve itself. A time when people come together to recall past joys and sorrows, specifically those spent in each other's company."  -  excerpt taken from www.independent.co.uk
