Here we stand at the threshold of a brand new year; 2010.
The end of yet another year naturally brings about a plethora of emotions;
Nostalgia, for the years gone by.
Joy, for gifts of birth and life, and likewise, sorrow for the loss of loved ones.
Love and gratitude for the mere presence of loving family and friends.
Fear and hope for life chapters yet to be written.
As we age, time seems to move at an increasing pace. With this realization comes alarm, and a sense of urgency to evaluate our lives.
I would like to think that with age, comes maturity and wisdom. The wisdom to see the big picture and not waste precious time and energy on petty issues.
It is said that we will regret more the things which we have not done, rather than the things which we have done wrong. I suppose it is better to make mistakes and fail than to not have tried at all. Our lives are too short to not give everything our best shot!
So let's not care about who is watching, or what other people think. Leave your comfort zone and do everything you want; climb your mountain!
Let's savour every minute of life and embrace all that lies in our path. Happiness is a state of mind. You can always choose to be happy no matter the circumstances.
Gratitude is important. If you find something to thank God for everyday, you will know your blessings and thus will be happy.
These are the things I hope to remember, to bring me through the year ahead and also the many more to come.
LIFE'S A PARTY! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!
CHEERS!!!
