What a lovely way to spend the rest of the year…In Tajikistan they believe the way you spend your new years is the way your year will turn out.. and I am sure that 2009 will be FABULOUS….. Live life as if its your last day…Remember that at the beginning of every year we open up a new book, with empty pages and as we are the authors of our books strive to create beautiful opportunities for yourself… Be kind to those around you and never underestimate the power of a smile…
Be FABULOUS in 2009 and may all your dreams comes through, but if they dont just remember that something better will come along.. I look forward to many more reunions and adventures in the year to come..
