2016. New Year's Resolution: Confidence!

New Year, New Resolutions! Jan. 4, 2016

Happy New Year! Un An Nou Fericit!

      A very good year to start of celebrating life and make new resolutions...

     With something old, new, green, colorful, vivant and vibrant, good cheer and good health! 

Especially green... and con allegria, that means with lots of joy!

For something old, new, green, colorful, vivant and vibrant, good cheer and good health! 
 "Reţeta pentru un an bun!  Se iau 12 luni şi se curăţă foarte bine de amărăciune, mândrie, ură, invidie, frică, irascibilitate şi stres. Se împarte fiecare lună în 28-31 zile, după caz, astfel ca proviziile să ajungă exact 1 an...! Fiecare zi se prepară separat: 1 parte muncă, 1 parte linişte, 1 parte umor. Se mai adaugă 3 linguri optimism, 1 linguriţă toleranţă, un praf de bun sim...ţ şi. o picătură de speranţă! Peste aluatul astfel obţinut se toarnă apoi dragoste din belşug. Preparatul gata făcut se aşează pe farfurie şi se împodobeşte cu frunzuliţe de curaj şi încredere în sine. Se serveşte zilnic, cu bucurie, alături de ceaşca de cafea din fiecare dimineaţă! Prezenta reţetă nu se compensează, ea este gratuită şi se transmite liber de la om la om, însoţită de urarea: Un An Nou darnic şi bun, Sănătate Deplină, Fericire Maximă şi Abundenţă Absolută!"

From Did You Know Category:

"Confidence is not something that can be learned like a set of rules; confidence is a state of mind. Positive thinking, practice, training, knowledge and talking to other people are all useful ways to help improve or boost your confidence levels."
"Confidence is generally described as a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective." (...)
"Faith and trust are synonyms of confidence when used in this sense."*

Natalie Maria Cole *

(February 6, 1950 – December 31, 2015)

" was an American singer, songwriter, and performer. The daughter of Nat King Cole, Natalie rose to musical success in the mid–1970s as an R&B artist with the hits "This Will Be", "Inseparable", and "Our Love". After a period of failing sales and performances due to a heavy drug addiction, Cole re-emerged as a pop artist with the 1987 album Everlasting and her cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac". In the 1990s, she re-recorded standards by her father, resulting in her biggest success, Unforgettable... with Love, which sold over seven million copies and also won Cole numerous Grammy Awards. She sold over 30 million records worldwide."

"Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky

You'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through

For you

Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear maybe ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

Oh, that's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile."*
