A New Year

Today I felt it was time to revisit my blog. I hadn’t done so in quite some time. I read some of my entries and it felt like reminiscing. Almost like going down memory lane. I deliberately write vaguely, but I remember exactly what I was going through at the time. Sometimes an incident or a person in my life inspires me to write about my feelings.

This was a tough year for me. It was a variety of things that contributed to this I suppose. I am getting older, which comes with its own setbacks – I lost another relative, I had some unexpected medical issues, and some other things I prefer not to discuss here. All in all, a challenging year. Nevertheless; I overcame most of my problems and I am still on planet earth.

You do become more introspective though, as you face difficult times. Especially, when you lose a family member who has known you all your life. You cannot help but think of your own mortality and others around you. Nonetheless; I am not going to dwell on misfortune today. We are about to begin a new year.

Let this be a time of renewal for us all. Strive to be better than the year we are about to leave behind. Be kinder, show more love, be grateful for another day. Happy New Year to everyone.
