We wish you...

from EVU News, Issue 4/1998 and 1/1999

We wish you, not only all possible gifts, but much more,
We wish you time to laugh, time for joy, ime to make things look beautiful,
We wish you time for you to reflect, o think not only about ourselves, but also about others,
We wish you time, not to rush, but to be happy and to know yourself,
We wish you time, not just to spend, but time to relax and to stay healthy in spirit and body,
We wish you time, to show amazement, time to listen, and not just time to watch the clock,
We wish you time, for confidence, time to build something with colleagues, friends and family
We wish you time, to grasp the stars, and time to grow, what means to mature in being human,
We wish you time, for continuous and renewed hope, time to meditate, time to love,
We wish you time, to find yourself, to create joy, and to experience every day, every hour as happiness,
We wish you time, to dream and to forgive,
We wish you time to really live...
I wish you a happy and fruitful 1999.

See you in Widnau!
