Of Rituals and Goodbyes

It’s December.More than Christmas,the cold-*shivers violently 😛 * and so many other wonderful things,December for me is about being nostalgic.I like sitting alone for hours on end wallowing in an retrospective/introspective mist.It’s like a ritual taking of stock thing:to look back over my journey through life so far,my dreams and aspirations and how they are shaping up,my failures and the lessons learnt from them and confronting my fears and doubts and so on.

Sitting there and watching the last year flashby in my minds-eye I feel so proud today.Proud and happy to be where I am,who I am.This feeling was so strong I knew I had to put it on here.I want to look back one day and remember this:the year of renewal,the tottering footsteps of a new start and hopefully of a splendid future.

So much has changed in the last year.Within me and around.I believe I have grown a lot.I also know the journey is far from over,that this is just the beginning.

Goodbye 2010.Waiting with joy,hope,apprehension and fear for the year 2011.

    Seems that many people do that same process of reviewing their life at this time of the year….hope your reflections lead to positive emotions and growth. Cheers!
