To do list ...for/begining with 2013

I wanted to write this essay on 31st December 2012, and to call it "Inventory for the Next Day". However, as an inspired title does not save the day, and my to do list was rooming around within me and somewhere around me, I postponed the writing for the next day, then for the 2nd January, and so on until now.

 

What I adore (and it's not a big word) around holidays is that delicate wind of innocence and precious ingenuity which surrounds everyone who lets himself surrounded, independently of age, financial potential, if man or woman, if single, married, or a passionate lover, widow, left alone or just secretly in love with someone. Everyone wishes something good and constructive for the year which begins, everyone sketches out at least mentally a short or a long list, a simple or an elaborate one full of wishes and projects...

 

And because this innocence and ingenuity brings us together with the universe and the divinity in a subtle way, without any bells ringing or spectacular fanfares, for this beginning of the new year I wish to celebrate  this solidarity of us and to write about our wishes for the year 2013, attempting to tailor make, us alone, the year that comes...

 

Thus, I invite you to take the challenge and to leave me a comment with ONE wish of yours for the year 2013. The next essay shall comprise all these wishes and shall be totally dedicated to you. The challenge shall begin today and I would like to write the essay next weekend, so that I'm waiting your comments. Please give it forward to those who anonymously or not, would like to share with us their wishes for 2013.

 

This is a translation of my few lines written in Romanian bellow, for those amazing non-Romanian speaking friends that I am lucky to have and who, no matter how enlightening Google Translate is, do not succeed to fully understand the message.

 

I shall begin as a good host that I am...

 

For the year 2013, I wish to love even more than I did last year, to be more courageous and without fears, to help more and to help more wisely than last year, to have more faith, wise and understanding of things and people.

Thank you,
Iosicumini
