Adieu 2010

Another chapter has ended as we begin a new chapter in our lives. In hindsight, 2010 had actually been a wonderful journey for me. I had the opportunity to travel around the world and explore new cultures. As for personal growth, I started discovering who I am and how I wanted to live my life. But I know, 2010 had been a mediocre year for many, and perhaps abysmal for some who are still struggling emotionally or for those who have been trying to dig their way out of the economic mess. But that is why we celebrate the new year, in aspiration for a new life and new hope for the future. I'm not worried about the happy folks. But for those who had a terrible year in 2010, embrace the heartaches, the adversities, the sadness and then leave them behind. I know, easy said than done. My intention is not to be morose here but we should appreciate every moment and value its worth. For every downfall lies a hidden blessing. No matter what happened in the past, I know the journeys taken only groomed us to become who we are intended to be and bring us to where we needed to go. But letting go the past and moving on is a must. Because look what just happened, another year has gone by. We have a limited ticking time clock, which we often take for granted. Let's use the new year wisely with smiles. Astrology tells us that we have cycles in life, sometimes good and sometimes bad. But one thing is for sure is that we can always wish for a better new year. And it will be. Over time, our chapters will only get better, more joyful, and serene. Let's bid farewell to 2010, and begin our new journey, another 365 days of blissful adventures and magic! Happy New Year to you all!
