Auld Lang Syne

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JZqwZNOAHjI

by Rabbie Burns (1759-96)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

Meanings

auld lang syne - times gone by
be - pay for
braes - hills
braid - broad
burn - stream
dine - dinner time
fiere - friend
fit - foot
gowans - daisies
guid-willie waught - goodwill drink
monie - many
morning sun - noon
paidl't - paddled
pint-stowp - pint tankard
pou'd - pulled
twa - two

Shirley, myself and our family wish you all a very happy, healthy and peaceful New Year.

We hope that those who have been burdened by injustice year after year see light at the end of the tunnel and gain some satisfaction from the support of the forum contributors.

Fighting for justice can be a very lonely struggle but we hope that in the coming year the burden becomes lighter.

My personal goal is to see an end to Shirley's struggles and to develop this site and forum into a full resource for those like her who have suffered from the failings of our justice system.

Dear All of You!

I ended up last week at the Hospital with my left eye that suddenly stopped working as it should. I do not have a normal vision, I am extremely sensitive to light, I see big white lights and it hurts, and most of the days I have head ache. And I have had difficulties to sit in front of my computer. This came all of a sudden and got worse so something has happened.
The doctors made all kinds of tests and truly thoroughly examined both eyes. It could be either a phenomena that unexplained can happen all of a sudden during a person’s life. But it could also be caused by cancer, or the beginning of cancer. They did not se anything that pointed out to that direction but they could not write that off. So now I am under the doctor’s surveillance.I will go back for more tests, and after 2 months they are going to do the whole thing over again. So I am in good hands.
Now I am forced to wear sun glasses and if the light is strong or if it is sunny outside, the sun glasses do not help so I have to have an item over the eye so that I look like a character of the movie “The Pirates of the Caribbean” “Smile”

So now I am sitting in the dark, looking like a Pirate writing this, because I want to wish you all a happy new year of Justice 2009.

Thank you every one for the loving and caring support that you have graced Guje and me and each other with during the past year. Taking the time to share the experience and knowledge and good advices is something that we all welcome as the incredible Gift it is!

Thank you Iain for letting the word flow free on your forum, the way to get knowledge is to study and ask questions, and then to ventilate our thoughts and what we feel is the truth.This is so very important to do
both for All of us, right here right now, and for those who will come and join in the future (God forbid but there will be others) and by doing this we all will give them an incredible powerful Tool, to use and by sharing we all can give something to each other that also will bring new Hope.

I hope to be able to read more about good ideas, what each and every one have done in the Campaigns etc, and I will also write about Gujes and my work with The Silent Walk For Justice, I am sure that we all can learn new things by sharing these experiences. And by learning we can sharpen our strategy for the next event both our own Campaigns and for our bigger events.

However I am a bit worried that Iain now is forced to sit in front of his computer and Moderate everything that is written. Surely we all must show our Love and Support to Shirley and Iain and grace them and each other with a Peaceful New Year of Justice with a new fresh Year here on Shirley.

Iain and Shirley should keep their strength and focus on the hearing and hopefully positive changes will come during 2009 .And I hope that Iain will be graced with the positive attitude that we all can give him, so that he instead can focus the Strength and the Inspiration to go on with the planning of the AGENDA FOR CHANGE. Iain are a great asset to all of us just as we are great assets to each other and to him, so please we must not make Shirley and Iain worried about the situation on Shirley Forum.

We must think of all the new potential members that we all invite, to also join the very important forum Shirleymckie, but after the situation, with hard words and personal argument, some of those persons that we invited also mentioned that they are not interested in joining, some were actually afraid of being attacked, and even if I assured them that would not happen they still did not join!

I hope that we all will invite others to join, and let us all hope that those new members will feel comfortable enough to be a part of the discussion.
Every new member are also a great asset.We have all the same Focus namely to get the Truth & Justice and that is what we all wish for each other. We are all happy when some one of us gets a new lead, we are all supportive and care when some one is sad and drained.

So let us not judge or measure or weight each other, we have already been measured and weight by others and that will only” Tear Down let us all together continue to “Build Up” instead.

Let us all stand together with the Focus on that 2009 Hopefully will get Truth & Justice so that we can se that light in the end of the tunnel, that Iain writes about above.

Fighting for Justice can be a very lonely struggle, but no one of us are alone, we have each other, and that is a Gift, and speaking from my own experiences, before Guje and I met all of You wonderful people we were alone, we were drained without new Hope, we did not know where to begin, there were so much information and knowledge to search for, but when we met all of you and started to have conversations both on Shirley and private, we were graced with so many good advices and loving and caring support, and bit by bit, we grew and got new HOPE and SPIRIT!

Thank You Every One, I hope that you know that You are wonderful loving and caring Human beings, thank you for taking your time to help and support, and also a Big Thank You every One for supporting and participating in The Silent Walk For Justice. Every time I light a candle for Annie, I also light candles for all of you, hoping that something positive will happen during the year of 2009.

I wish for you all a year when the Truth will come out and Justice will be done!
