So it's true. Since half an hour I'm officially one year older. Or maybe not. I was actually born at 4.30 pm, as my mum always reminds me, so maybe I'm still the same age for a few more hours...Who am I actually kidding? As if a few hours would make the difference...
Another year has gone. I don’t know what I have achieved in the past year. Probably nothing. Just another year getting along. Or maybe not? Maybe I did achieve something. Being alive!
I have to learn how to enjoy, or rather savor, my days one by one, as I am much luckier than so many people around the world. Unfortunately I don’t always realize how lucky I am. Why do we always look up at people who are wealthier, slimmer, better looking, more famous and never at the less fortunate than us?
This year’s resolution will be to try to be happier and to make the people around me happier too. Carpe Diem.

di doman non c'è certezza.

Happy Birthday from Zeno and me!
So, a very happy Birthday to you, dear Antonella. As for Time, always flying away so sadly, Seneca said we are not actually given little time in our lives but very often we made the wrong use of it. Then, you're right: SEIZE THE DAY, make your life extraordinary. :)
Happy birthday, dear antonella. I dont now why but i tell you so reading the others comments hahaahahahahahah!!! Ciao, buon blogging. Enzo
Happppy Biiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrtday!! Here's to a great year ahead. Some years I don't feel I've really achieved anything, others years I think I'v done tons. Life is like that, I guess. Have a good one!
Cheers! I would say "take care of the day" because "seize" does not sound gentle enough to me.
