Easter Celebrations

Buon giorno and greetings from Rome dear friends,

I know it's been a while since I last corresponded with you, but you know how busy our lives can get and before you know it the days, the weeks and the months are just flying by quickly. The Easter celebrations in Rome have come and gone with Pope Benedict XVI celebrating his first Easter Mass as pope. His messages were about peace and pleading to the world and governments for peaceful resolutions to their crises and problems. On special occasions or holidays we all mainly tend to send messages of peace and love to one another and we all hope that the day after tomorrow will be a better and a brighter one. Have you thought lately of a genuine kind act that you have done for someone only just by showing compassion and pure genuiness without any interior motive, but only just to make another person feeling good and happy. And we hope that the other person would pay it forward to someone else. It takes a lot of effort because as you probably know we all tend to be caught up in our 'little' world and many times we forget what is out there as well as the substance of what it means to be a loveable, kind human being. So, if you are reading this piece hopefully you will get motivated and kick it up a notch, too and be 'good' not only today, but every day really...
