The New Year

Edith Pierce once said, “We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity, and its first chapter is New Year’s Day”.

On New Year’s Day is the time when one starts to make resolutions. It has always been one man’s habit, to break them all the way through the year, and having regrets in the end. I’ve been one of them too. So, this year, I’m might not make any resolutions, to end up starting old habits the next weekend. This would most likely to happen since I’m very good in procrastinating.

It’ll be the moment one expects and hope that things will be different and better. Keep in mind that you should also be grateful, with what you have, that brought you who you are today. And so what if things go bad, out of your expectations? You can’t run away, and hide; you won’t be able to turn back time. All you’ve got to do is stand, right where you’re at and discover your adventures; as life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain. Be creative, take the risk and accept disappointment.

And for those who have lived the last year in tragedy and disappointment, cheer up, as you’re here today, given a chance to make things right.

Everyone, I wish you have a Happy New Year 2010.

My New Year’s resolution?
