OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW!!
Happy
2016! As is the tradition,
at the stroke of midnight on December 31st, 2015, cities all around the world
welcomed the New Year with elaborate fireworks. As the New Year
approaches each year, many of us start thinking of resolutions. It can actually
feel uplifting to begin a new plan such as joining a gym to get fit,
writing one page a day , or more prosaically, keeping up with your inbox ,etc.
But, as most of us know, the novelty wears off as we get bored and discouraged.
We’re suddenly confronted with the day to day challenge of sustaining our
goals. Unexpected events throw us off course. We need to stay late at work, we
can’t leave our smart phone or a relative gets sick. Disappointingly, one day
of missing the goal then leads to missing the next and next day, until we feel
defeated and our goal is abandoned. New Year is one time when you
get an opportunity to share the warmth of heart through beautiful verses and
when these lines are well written, the message has stronger effect on the receiver.
In most cases, we run out of words when it comes to wish others, though we have
many things in our heart to pour over. It is one situation faced by almost all
of us when our minds have many words jumbling up and our brains cannot search
for the correct words to frame.
Looking
back on the months gone by,
As
a new year starts and an old one ends,
We
scrutinize what brought us joy,
And
we think of our loved ones and our friends.
Recalling
all the happy times,
Recollecting
how they enriched our lives,
We
reflect upon who really counts,
As
the fresh and bright new year arrives.
And
when I ponder those who do,
I
immediately think of you.
As
we live our life, each second and minute,
We
know we’re privileged to have you in it.
Our
appreciation never ends!!
In
the New Year, let's look for the good.
We
may have to search
through
a mass of negative media,
but
the good is there,
all
around us.
