Happy New Year!

If you’re around on holiday to celebrate the International party season, do it merrily BUT not just lustfully in quest of doing a right thing on a wrong day or in a wrong way; unless you want to be summoned back around the end of September or the start of October for a naming ceremony(ies).

On a more serious note, since the Gregorian calendar is the civil calendar that The Gambia draws on, I can’t but join y’all in wishing and praying that the Good Lord gives us the wisdom and overstanding to appraise ourselves, see who we still are, where we have been and where we intend to be come 2014 and beyond, to help us create that desired foresight for us and for our children…

With God, nothing is unachievable and I am particularly glad that almost every Gambian is religious; so even supposing you think you're doing so well and have everything figured out, you still must have room for desires, wishes and hopes; let us pray:

May there be enough for the needy and the neglected, and even extra for those who already have pretty sufficient amounts, so that helpfulness may be at a free-range; may all our groundless disagreements bring forth favourable conclusions; may every messiness in our dealings turn to order, all misunderstandings to comprehensibility, contentions into responsiveness; may the chances we had forgone in the past years not despair our resolve to be successes in other ways….

That said, let’s do it… 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 BOOOOOOOOM! Happy New Year!

I’m sure some of you’ll remember my bashing of those kids who fervently trust that “you only live once” (YOLO), mostly to feed their desire ...
