Hi Everyone Arina here, wanting to wish all of you THE HAPPIEST OF NEW YEARS! I thought this might be a better way to wish all of you a Happy holiday season since I was not much around here, on ActiveRain, lately. I only want you to know that I did not forget all of you and specially my good friends who, over the years, were an inspiration and motivation for me to be my best.
I want to wish a Happy New Year to everyone at ActiveRain. I pray that the coming year will bring lot of peace, happiness, joy, health, prosperity and wealth in everyone's life.
My wish for each of you would be all the love you can handle , all the money you could spend and enough happyness to fill a hundred life times. Friends that will endure all time. And a great family to share it all with!!! Wishing you not just smile but laughter, not just happiness but pure joy, not just wealth but heavens treasure and above all a happy great New Year for you and your loved one!

Life itself is a challenge that we ought to face. You lose some, you win some, but if you never give up, you will discover that sacrifices have the greatest rewards!
Sometimes, God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
He breaks our heart to make us whole.
He sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes, He sends us failure so we can be humble.
He takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything we have.

The Alchemy of Love
You come to us
from anothe world
From beyond the stars
and void of space .
Transcendent, Pure,
Of unimaginable beauty,
bringing with you
the essence of love
You transform all
who are touched by you
Mundane concerns,
troubles, and sorrows dissolve in your presence,
Bring joy]
to ruler and ruled
To peasant and king
You bewilder us
with your grace.
All evils
transform into
goodness.
You are the master alchemist.
yOU LIGHT THE FIRE OF LOVE
IN EARTH AND SKY
IN HEART AND SOUL OF EVERY BEING.
Through your loving
existence and nonexistence merge.
All Opposites unite.
All that is profane
Becomes sacred again
]by Rumi
