Hello Hello

A year goes by.

We stuck to a few resolutions made at the beginning of the year, some helped us be better people, some never saw themselves 2 months into the year.

Some came back to remind us in December when everyone was talking about resolutions. 

Resolutions are made to be broken say some!!!

 

When a parents' health suffers, few major compromises in life had to be made. 

My children gained independence, while I had to give up mine.

 

End of year posts are mostly very sentimental with thoughts of losses and gains.

 

So I ditched my year end post and am now looking forward to a new year. 

Nothing changes for me.

I am still a crazy mom, an irresponsible daughter, a confused parent, a kind friend. Am still the person I was.

But I welcome the new year, because it will bring in plenty of surprises. Maybe new friends, new relationships, old friends, stronger relationships!

New places, new roads. Old destinations, better memories........

 

I made my goals for the year early on, just 4 days into the year and 2 of them are not going to be met. I should be upset, was for a while, but I shake the feeling and continue doing what it takes to have met that goal.

I dont lose anything!! Gain lot more in the immediate present and in the long term.

 

The peace that I found from letting go, has made me a wiser person this year. 

Mistakes of my past, regrets from years gone by will never haunt me! 

 

My mantra for this year is to practice kindness.

 

For a poetry lover this poem reflects the true meaning of life goes on.

The various stages of our lives so well represented. So peaceful and so calming 

 

And out again I curve and flow 
To join the brimming river, 
For men may come and men may go, 
But I go on for ever.

Extracted from 'The Brook' by Alfred Lord Tennyson

 

Looking forward to a year filled with hope, passion, love, courage and good cheer. And Kindness!!! And Magic........
