I
am sure, this will be a question that comes to your mind, after
reading this post.
Yes
folks, I'm not at all the kind of writer that writes 'masterpieces', I just
let my thought go their free rein and put them on virtual paper.
I
also doubt if putting a question mark in a title is correct, perhaps
it's not done.
So - I leave it up to you to define
what this is.
Anyhow,
it comes straight from my heart, and before going further, I want to
wish you all a 'Happy New Year' with the hope that you will have many
blessings in the year to come.
- I started the new year with running in the early morning, just after
dawn.
I
was whole alone on the road, it seemed as if everyone else was
sleeping off his whirl from yesterday evening.
- I myself - had nothing to celebrate yesterday. I went early to bed, I
only awoke '*around midnight' because of the noise of the fireworks here
in the neighborhood.
*That
was for me the right time to hug my dear Pipke's 'Golden heart' that I
keep under my pillow!
It
brought me back to the time that she was still alive, then we took
her indoors to prevent that she would become afraid for the popping
fireworks.
That
was the time for hugs and reassurance, such a happy time!
From
those happy times I have one picture that's taken 'exactly', on this
very day, twenty years ago.
New
Year's day 1996!
In the early morning.
(As
you can see: my sweet little girl could not appreciate to be 'dolled
up' for the occasion! She shook it off as quick as possible.
She
loved sobriety. She didn't like frills! Pure white was her favorite
color. The material of her packing always had to be clean, soft and
waterproof.)
However - I don't think that I will ever be able 'to celebrate' a New Year.
No! Celebrations - of what kind so ever - are no longer wasted on me.
Actually,
the world wherein we live now, it makes me sad!
There's
too much hunger for too many of us. Not 'the hunger' in the real
sentence of the word, but - the kind of hunger where Mother Teresa once referred to!
For
all who's hungry, I hope you will be fed today!
Let
this be your New Year's *resolution for the year 2016:
let No-One be
hungry again.
*It is surely mine!
I
wish you all the very best!

PS: for those who don't know it.
Pipke's 'Golden heart' is the little urn with her ashes, in the shape of a heart.
