May we all be well, happy and peaceful. May no harm come to us. May no difficulties come to us. May no problems come to us. May we always meet with sucess. May we also have patience, courage, understanding and determination to meet inevitable difficulties, problems and failures in life.

At this festive occasion, may we also extend our blessings to ourselves, our loved ones and family, our colleagues and aquaintances, our enemies and those who stand against us and all the living things in the universe. Spread the love!

Today is exactly the same length as any other day (give or take a few nanoseconds).
