I Reflect...

In a few hours, the year 2009 will come to an end. During times like this when our loved ones come home and families get a chance to be truly together, sentimental mood swings brings back fond memories of the years gone by.

In the past year, some may have lost their loved ones while some may have found a new love. Some may have prospered while some went broke. Some may be happy memories and some sad, but all the same, the joy in the realization of just simply being healthy and alive is enough. The wise thing to do is to keep the happy ones and discard the sad ones. Though it is easier said than done, for human beings never really forget, we should learn to move on with our lives and not remain static.

A new year always bring new hope and new resolutions to destroy. Hahaha! I am never one to make resolutions but I have always hung on to the belief that each new year will be better than the previous one. It is the only way to carry on living happily year after year. Because there is always hope.

On a personal level, my life has changed much and I am very happy with the change. As it is, I start appreciating what little things others will do for me. I am learning to live a stress free life by managing my time very well, by spending my money for good reasons, and by just having fun! I no longer dream of having a fancy car or a big house by the sea! NO! NO! But I dream of having an elegant limousine or 100 floor skyscraper in the city. I surpassed my limitations and dare to explore the borderless universe.

Plodding along the rocky and uneven road of my life, I stumbled many times along the way, due to all the wrong decisions that I did. It was much later that I found good souls who was willing to show me the true way and I feel blessed and thankful to them.

In reflecting the year gone by, I would say I have gained more than I have lost. Me and my whole family have been blessed with good life for the past year.

For the coming year, I hope everyone in the family, friends and close ones stay healthy and happy. Hope there would be no calamities in the world. Hope there will be no war. Hope that I can still be blogging for the entire next year.

With that, I am signing out on this 31^st day of December on the eve of New Year, Two Thousand and Nine.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
