A Year Gone By
We face the horizon of the coming year leaving the past years behind and looking forward for a new coming year of adventures…not just the ordinary ones but with life’s own teachings. Last year, like all other years that passed, may not always be the same good year for each and every one of us. With some depressing events globally, economic recession, crimes, scandals, prejudice, rifts and arm conflicts…not to mention all other personal issues that some of us are facing in our everyday life, who will be hopeful? Yet indeed we should remember that all these challenges in life we dwell with hope… Hope that when things are on it worst, there is nothing else it will turn to- except to become better.
Most of us, would probably resent the changes brought by time… Some may look forward to these changes for a new hope that time begets with new learning experiences. As they say, whilst the time goes by so fast, people will go in and out of our lives that we should never miss the opportunity to tell them to how much they mean to us. We should appreciate the thought of how these people gave meaning to our lives and contributed to us becoming better persons all through the years in every own little way they did… We should be grateful for the wisdom we learnt in realising who we are now as we go along the way. We should thank God for the life that we share with people close to us; they are our family, loved ones, friends, neighbours, colleagues and our community.
With happy thoughts in mind, let us greet the new coming year with cheers and hope. Happy New Year to all!
