Ovunque tu sia,  in italia o qualche posto nel mondo, le feste quest’anno forse saranno quiete e tranquille. Può anche darsi, che ci saranno meno chiacchiere e meno risate perché non ci saranno i nostri amici e le famiglie. 

Grazie a COVID, almeno abbiamo il tempo per guardare noi stessi, il nostro stile di vita, ed le nostre abitudini. Possiamo usare questi giorni per eliminare le cose di cui non abbiamo bisogno per avere una vita semplice. Senza i giorni da passate con altre persone, avremo l’opportunità di mangiare di meno, litigare di meno; ma, avremo più tempo per concentrarci nel significato del Natale. Questi giorni ci daranno il tempo di riflettere. Con la speranza che quest’anno porterà la pace, la compassione, e la Grazia nei nostri cuori.

Greetings and Happy New Year from The Healthy Italian and Diana Lucarino-Diekmann. 

Whether in Italy or elsewhere in the world, it may be a more quiet and mellow holiday this year with less clamor, but also less laughter without the company of many of our usual friends and family.

Thanks to Covid, we will also have a chance to look at ourselves, our lifestyles and our habits; to pare down and get rid of things that no longer serve us. Without the large family and friend gatherings we will probably eat less, argue less and be able to focus on the meaning of Christmas for each of us personally. It will give us more time – time to reflect. And hopefully bring more peace, compassion and gratitude into our hearts. 

Auguro a tutti voi un felice e prospero anno nuovo con buona salute!
