I wish you all a very happy Christmas, and a 2012 full of realizations and abundance.
Peace, love, health, harmony and happiness.

Right here waiting – Richard Marx

Right here waiting

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn’t stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can’t get near you now

Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me going crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I’m with you
I’ll take the chance

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you

Interesting facts about Easter

Easter is an important celebration in the Christian calendar. Christians believe that Jesus Christ was crucified as a sacrifice for mankind and was raised from the dead three days later. Here are some interesting facts about Easter.

• Easter is a ‘moveable feast’ because the date it is celebrated changes every year! Easter falls on the first Sunday following a full moon after March 21. So if there was a full moon on Monday (March 22), Easter would be celebrated on Sunday (March 28).
• Easter is usually celebrated on (or close to) the date of the Jewish feast Passover. This is because Jesus was crucified during the Passover festival.

• In Poland, many Christians eat ‘butter lamb’. Butter is shaped into a lamb by hand.
• Egg painting is common on Easter day in Finland, Sweden and Denmark.
• Eggs hunts are popular in Australia and the United States.

There is only one thing they want that’s understood.
I tell them I shouldn’t, they tell me I should.
There must be other ways to make a man feel good.
All I do is simple stand there.
All at once I feel a hand there.
Begging for my femininity.

We can work it out _ The beatles

We can work it out – Nice song.

Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing
that our love may soon be gone

We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what you’re saying
You can get it wrong
And still you think that it’s all right

Think of what I’m saying
We can work it out
and get it straight or say goodnight

We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short
and there’s no time
for fussing and fighting,my friend

I have always thought
that it’s a crime
So I will ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There’s a chance that we might fall apart
Before too long

We can work it out…
