At first glance, this postcard very well reminds me of a Chinese proverb:
Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come.
A tree is nourished by minerals from the soil and vitamins from the sun, and refreshed by water and air. Such is the same for the human heart, nourished by past experiences and refreshed by new ones. As I bid goodbye to 2013 and welcome the new year, 2014 - I admit I didn't write down (yet) specific "new year resolutions". But I renewed my yearly promise that I will keep an open and cheerful heart, keen on taking in new rewarding experiences, relearning from wise and trusted people and friends, and learning from new acquaintances and even strangers.
Happy new year everyone! Wishing all of us a prosperous 2014!

ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you too lovely Maria. I'll save this proverb...I love quotes and wise words...Your resolutions are not easy but will brings you peace of mind. I have choose to turn the page of 2013 first before making any new resolutions. I had a very very special year, and I must turn the page, forgive and forget to have a brand new path.
