2008 Wishes


The usual rounds of new year wishes circulated this week, however 2 stood out in my mind. Thought I'd share them with you. First an anonymous blessing for 2008:

May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires! May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words ...May 2008 be the best year of your life! (so far)

Here's another from cousin Rekha Ohal, writer and musician:

In 2008 you will blossom even further into your witchiest, juiciest, most magical goddess self. You will refine the art of driving the bus of your life and successfully navigate any or all obstacles in your path, realizing that they are not stopping points but rather launchpads. You will laugh everyday and sometimes milk will come out of your nose! You will sing at the top of your lungs and savor every note! You will dance boldly and if you fall down, you will not skin your knee but rather shed another skin! You will become even more adept at this game you are playing, that we are ALL playing, the one where we all, as divine beings, choose to be born into human spacesuits in order to revel in this wonderland we call Earth.

To make this an even richer year I'm including a pix of Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacles and bringer of luck.

Love these wishes. They are not the typical and definitely are what we need for 2008!

Love this, Rekha! Think I will steal - ahem, I mean borrow - the first wish and use it on my blog, too. Could not have been better said. Very cool.
