When I was surprised to have a New Year Greeting Card…

New Year’s Eve is a special time in which everyone can look forward to fresh outlooks on life, reaffirmation of love, and unbreakable promises to loved ones for a better and brighter future. It brings not only happiness; it makes us happy with a hope to fulfill our dreams or a new beginning of our lives. It’s always very special to everyone.

NEEDS TO BE APPRECIATED

Exchanging gifts and greetings on certain special occasions like birthdays, marriage anniversaries, and New Year’s is an old custom. But presenting a gift as per the liking and need, at the receiving end is always needed and appreciated.

With the invention of mobile technology and the availability of various features to exchange texts, photos, and beautifully designed messages with quotes in the language purchasing greeting cards for a particular occasion has become a thing of the past.

It was a regular feature to send official greetings to their clients and one friend to his other best friends. Now greetings are more rituals than feelings expressed in the marvellously and magnificently worded in cards designed for posting on social media.

CELEBRATE AS NEW BEGINNINGS

Nevertheless, sometimes these are not just mere greetings. They are powerful blessings, setting the best vibration for the day. No matter how busy you may be, do spare some time for yourself and your family to celebrate the New Year which always signals new beginnings.

Anyhow, New Year is like a blank book and the pen is in your hands. It is more important that it is changing for you to write a beautiful story of yourself. Most of people make special goals for the new year such as getting in shape, going on a weight loss journey, pursuing career goals, or simply spending more time with family and friends and the list could be long and different for everyone. It is an admitted fact that these goals help us to look ahead with positivity and optimism, ultimately benefitting our well-being as a whole.

FRANKLY SPEAKING

Frankly speaking, whether it is morning, afternoon, or night, we should make sure that what we say, is right and if we convey it in person, we should greet each other with a smile, hug, and speak kind words.

I recollect an incident of three decades back when I received a handwritten New Year’s Greeting Card from my close female friend, with a special mention at the end of the card as ‘Yours Only’. But, it was more surprising for me when I witnessed the same worded greeting card from the same friend to another friend as Yours Only at the end. It looks to be a good idea to please everyone.
