It’s the last day of the year and I am here sitting all alone. Lately, I find myself wanting to be alone a lot. Winters have always been difficult for me, and I nearly diagnose myself with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), also known as “winter blues”. Some people become sad due to the lack of sunlight; rain takes down some people real bad too. Research findings are that women suffered SAD more and there is also a general consensus that it is a worldwide condition that affects millions of people each year.
Looking hesitantly to a new year rolling, in just some few hours away, my heart skipped a beat and it looks kind of stretch. There are so many people I wanted to talk to, thanking them, wishing them well. Still, like Eliot’s Prufrock, I just cannot seem to pick up the phone and dialed numbers .Time is now hustling away with the bygones and like a smoke they are fading and I want to hold on to them so bad. But straight shoulder, I know I have to march on. I prayed a good prayer today for my mom, dad, brothers, sisters, niece, friends and for myself too. My life has been so rich with varied people, experiences and the turning of things. I saw an image of a materialistic girl turned spiritual whose likings have all change. We change with seasons, years and what we thought never will happen take place. We surrendered. Really, there is nothing too bad, so people should not feel low about themselves. It’s alright. Everything occurred for a purpose, behind it there’s always a bigger picture. The old saying is that the largest room in the world is a room for self improvement. I look forward to learning how to dance and swim ;-). I goggled the other day of my favorite movie star and he said the desire to explore life, experiences are inherent in him as his mother in her 60s just joined an university. Awesome. Nor is there a need to put a chin on the hand, regretting in retrospection on all the ‘what ifss’ and ‘if onlyss.’ The tiniest veins in the brain are built so that we succumb to mistakes now and then. No one, as long as a human being, as mighty he may be, cannot escape from this shortness. In fact, it’s sweet realizing we are softies and that there’s always a place for rectifying. It’s never too late.No matter what people may say. As I take a peep into the new year which is about to roll in soon, my heart aches for the pain I caused to people, I like to make amends and brings smiles, let us be good. You are all in my heart and my good wishes go out to all of you, all of you. Let’s stand tall and enter into this new world with every bright hope that it is going to give us all that we have been praying and groaning for. Let’s walk in with our loving Father, clutching his hand, the provider of all good things, the faithful one. We fall short but he is there, he will take us in, it will be good for you and for me! Happy New Year! Every blessing to you!! |
