2010 Greetings.

My dear friends around the world,
I greet you in this, the first hour of the new year.
Know that I would have sent you the message even at that very moment,
but midnight has found us without any service in any single network.
So, instead, I raise my glass to you and wish you love and peace
and a full share of life's adventures in this new year.
May your rain come in good time
and the sun warm you with its shining.
May your roads be smooth and your journeys safe.
May you always find food on your table
and never fear for the security of your children.
May you love and be loved in return.
May your beer be cold and your coffee hot.
May you find yourself in the company of those who love life –
and may your days be full of laughter.
