And here is Yra's year-end farewell message. I really liked it, and also the image at the end is very beautiful. For those unfamiliar with Yra's other talents, in addition to being a singer and writer, she also paints and draws. I'll leave you here the message just as I copied it from her official MySpace:
"How are you?This 2008 is about to end. I hope you enjoyed the holiday season and had a lot of fun. Each year brings us both positive and negative things. The important thing is how we react to everything and how we use it in our favor, as everything can teach us a lesson.This has been an intense, productive, and positive year. I am surprised by everything that has happened, especially because most of the things I wouldn't have guessed. I appreciate everyone who has been there; I always keep you in mind.I am happy to see that some of you have risen and managed to do wonderful things, even with a dazzling energy. I am very excited to see what 2009 will bring us; I hope you continue with us to see it.We can measure this year by what we learned, lived, overcame, forgot, suffered, enjoyed, and loved, among so many other things. If in this 2008 we couldn't do something we considered important, remember that we still have the rest of this year and a lifetime ahead to live it.I wish you a Merry Christmas and a very prosperous 2009.Yra"
