Seezdah Bedar April/2/2006 The two weeks long Nowruz celebration ends with SeezDeh Bedar. SeezDeh means Thirteen and SeezDeh Bedar is the process of getting over with or passing over the thirteenth day of the New Year This day is usually celebrated outdoor in a picnic style. This is the last day of New Year celebration and life will return to normal the following day Schools will open, shops will start on their regular hours and offices and Government agencies are back in normal operation. So, this is the last chance to spend some time with family and friends and enjoy the fresh smell of Spring.On this day, girls & boys tie a knot with grass and make wishes perhaps for a husband or wife. When the knot is opened (it is beleived that) their luck will open and their wishes will come true. Newly weds also tie a grass knot making wishes for a baby, a house, or whatever is on their Have-To-Have list is the 13th day of Nowruz and Persians to overcome the bad luck they spend the entire day out of the house with families and friends in the parks having a picnic. They sing and play games and celebrate a happy and healthy holiday season and end the holiday season on a positive note ...
LIfe as book of secrets.... Every life is a book of secrets, ready to be opened. The secret of perfect love is found there, along with the secrets of healing, compassion, faith, and the most elusive one of all: who we really are. We are still mysteries to ourselves, despite the proximity of these answers, and what we most long to know remains lodged deep inside. We all want to know how to find a soul mate, what career would be most fulfilling, how to live a life with meaning, and how to teach our children well. We are looking for a personal breakthrough, a turning point, a revelation that brings with it new meaning. Because answers to the questions at the center of life are counterintuitive, they are often hidden from view, sequestered from our everyday gaze. Deepak Chopra

هيچ گلی جوانه نمی زند،مگر هديه شود. هيچ خاطره اي زنده نمی ماند،مگر شيرين باشد. هيچ لبخندی نيست،مگر شادی بياورد. و هيچ بهاری نمی آيد،مگر سال ديگری در پيش باشد. پس بگذار باران شوق بر زندگی ا ت ببارد،تا روحت را صفا دهد. گل های عشق در دلت جوانه زنن د،تا آنها را به ديگران هديه کنی. خاطراتت قشنگ باشند تا همواره به يادشان بياوری. لبخند بر لبانت نقش بندد تا شادی را بيفشانی. و بهار بيايد تا بدانی باز هم فرصت بودن هست
If One Day... If one day you feel like crying... Call me. I don't promise that I will make you laugh, But I can cry with you. If one day you want to run away... Don't be afraid to call me. I don't promise to ask you to stop... But I can run with you. If one day you don't want to listen to anyone... Call me. I promise to be there for you. And I promise to be very quiet. But if one day you call... And there is no answer... Come fast to see me.
