My Wish for You in 2008
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100.00 bills. May love stick to your face like Honey and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires…and may happiness slap you across the face…and may your tears be those of joy. May any of the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words …..
May 2008 be the best year of your life!!!
