Faith轻松电台：新年寄语——New Year Greetings from Faith

　　本期内容：Hello again, and welcome to the year 2006. I’m Faith from Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax.

　　The New Year is around us now, and I hope that you're working your way towards your goals and the fulfillment of your resolutions (if you made any). Whether you made some or not, I wish you the best of success with each new day that makes its way into our lives--take good care of yourself, and the rest will fall into place!

　　Also, The New Year season is upon us, and we all have a season of goodwill¹ and thoughts of others to look forward to. I hope that you're able to see all of the joy of this holiday season, accept it, and make it a part of yourself and share it with others.

　　People usually decide to start over from New Year. You have choice. You can select joy over despair. You can select happiness over tears. You can select action over apathy². You can select growth over stagnation³. You can select you. And you can select life. And it's time that you start off.

　　The year 2006 is stretching her arms to embrace you into a new, refreshing⁴, prosperous world: welcome abroad, enjoy your life, have fun.

　　You’re listening to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, this is Faith. I wish you happiness during the holidays and through out the New Year.
