As the year 2012 slips away like grains of sand from a tightened fist,
I think it would be wise,
to recollect the wonderful things this year has been about for ourself.
Of course like any other person, this year has had its share of ups and downs,
goods and bad, joys and sorrows.
But me being me, having agonised over the tough spots during the year,I don't want to recollect them , and leave them documented to be readily available to be reminded of them again. And hence this post will contain only the happy highs for us.
And yet at the end of it, life just feels so normal, like it always did.
On December 31, the year 2012 will fade into history.
Though January 1, 2013 will not be materially different,
but the year 2013 can be, and I hope will be a harbinger of better tomorrows. Many will take stock of their hopes and desires for the future,
but some will find refuge in this season of festivities and let desires negate hope and trump reality.
The poor and dispossessed of the world will go on toiling towards dashed hopes and early deaths. The challenge is to bring changes to these lives and usher in a new millennium of peace and cooperation
that is still waiting for the last many years of the chronological millennium.
As an ode to 2012 -
While another year just goes by,
All that in our minds lie.
I wish are happy memories and cheer,
And a hope of an amazing new year.
We take with us all that is dear,
Leaving behind the things we fear.
No tears for the moments we lost,
For the hate, anger and bitterness they cost.
Taking the goods and leaving the rest,
We move ahead to our glorious best.
Happy New Year everyone. I hope the new year brings peace, love and joy to all mankind. Let us all join hands for a better tomorrow, a happier place . I put in my bit of sorrow, and prayer for the precious lives lost this year due to cruel, inhuman acts, looking forward to a brighter year ahead.
Let us all bid good bye to 2012, with a big cheer and lots of hope.
And so…as the last few hours of 2012 comes to an end,
all I can say is this:
The year was not a bed of roses as there were a few thorns hidden.
I pricked myself and I bled. But I healed and now I am stronger than I was before. Emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.
As I embark on my journey into a whole New Year, I can only hope for, pray for, ask for, believe in and receive good things I refuse to let anything hold me down in my pursue of happiness, success, wealth and good health.
