Well, the season is here, some people are out on holidays now, others are still working/studying but will soon go out, others will keep on working - but the season is here and it is time to say something whilst we're all still here and not out overseas or somewhere.
A Little Christmas thought:
You are here, maybe feeling the love arround you due to this season, maybe feeling sad, lonely, maybe feeling like every other day. Whatever we feel, we have to consider ourselves fortunate, for out of 6,000 Million people on earth, barely 3000 Million will be celebrating. Every few seconds, a child somewhere will be dying of hunger. In this season, the number of suicides in desperate homes increases due to families extremely concerned about not being able to take even food to their children on christmas day. More than half of the world's population lives in terrible conditions. You get the idea. It had to be said.
My call is not to depress you, make you feel guilty or say what you have heard a thousand times before. But remember all those times this year when you lost your temper over having to do work that you weren't supposed to have to do? Remember all those times where you fought with your parents over some insignificant issue? Remember how many times you have lost your temper at all this year? Lets be honest, it wasnt worth it, was it? May this season put in perspective your struggles with anyone at all, and may you leave shame behind and come to them and share with them - and forgive. Dont be afraid to speak your mind - nobody will ever remember you for your secret thoughts.
And My Message To All of you
Merry Christmas car lovers, thank you for one more year of interesting discussion, of chat, of help; thanks for another year of showing yourselves by who you are whilst talking and discussing about our passion - cars. Thanks for the support - to those who knew me a little better - in moving out of home and starting a new independant life at the other end of the world, for helping me improve in my photoshop and drawing skills. All in all, THANKS AND I WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY 2006 AND A GREAT CHRISTMAS SEASON.
