Welcome, 2006

I cannot really say "happy" new year. It just won't come out of me. What I can say is that I hope that this new year is not as stressfull and draining as 2005 was. February 14 is only fourty five days away. February 14.... the day that probably changed my life, and the lives of millions of Lebanese, forever. What an anniversary!

• My main hope for Lebanon is that we weather this regional storm that we have become a part of.
  
  
• My other main hope is that we come out stronger than ever (in a political, economic and cultural sense) and that we are able to consolidate the gains made in our independence and sovereignty.

Very vague hopes. Vague but not too demanding.
