Today...last day of 2010. Tomorrow...first day of 2011. If you really think about it, there is nothing special about today and tomorrow. The sun will rise and set just the same. The earth will rotate just the same. The rivers will flow just the same. But then, if you really think about it, today and tomorrow are incredibly special.
Today...31st December 2010...signifies the end of 12 months of our lives...12 months of our past...that we are done living...just a memory now. And tomorrow...1st January 2011...denotes the beginning of another 12 months of our lives...12 months of our future...to use and mould as we wish...to do what we want...to reassert our identities.
If I take a step back and look at the last 12 months, I see how much my life has changed in a year. The biggest change of all...we moved across the country. I left the place I had known as home for the past 12 years. I left behind friends whom I won't be seeing anytime soon. And I came to a new place...a new home...to new friends. There were birthdays and anniversaries celebrated in 2010...my marriage is a year older, my kids are a year older (my! they are growing up fast!), I am a year older (though not any wiser for that, I am sure). I got in touch with so many long lost friends and got reacquainted with some existing friends. Participated in a cultural program and danced on stage after many years (that felt good!). Most of all, I found myself making time for the things I love...writing, music, reading. And so, even if I did not realize it while living it day to day, 2010 has changed me..I have grown, evolved...2010, you have been good for me and today I am bidding you a fond farewell.
And now I have 12 more months ahead of me. I know life is full of uncertainties. Things don't always happen the way we want them to. But still, I think the most important point is not to lose hope. So armed with my list of New Year Resolutions (the topmost being not to break them like I end up doing every year), I am ready for 2011. Some realistic and some not so realistic goals...but if they happen, I will write about it. (Since that is one resolution...to write more).
I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read my blog. When I first started the blog, the thought in my mind was...'Who would want to read what I have to say?'..(I know, I know...I can be a bit of a pessimist at times)...But so many of you read what I have to say and said...Keep writing. That means a lot to me. Thank you!
Signing off wondering what 2011 has in store for me and New Year wishes for everyone...
