Ending..with the Beginning in Mind

As the year draws to an end, many of us would

• be caught up with tying up things for the year
• reflect and ponder on the year gone by
• be planning for the new year

this year, there are many things i’ve to be grateful for

• a wonderful and healthy new relationship
• renewed health of a family member
• renewed and strengthened family ties

there were many lessons learnt along the way
new friendships made
some colleagues become ex-colleagues
but new (and perhaps) better colleagues found
associates became friends
and friends became (sadly enuf) mere associates

changes are inevitable
we all evolve
one can only hope
that we’ve evolved to be a better person
our humanness makes us flawed
if we remember that we are all flawed
we’d behave with more humility
and act with conscience

so, what do i want for the new year?
what do i wish for?
what do i need?
i wish for renewed faith in mankind
i wish for strength in character
specifically more patience and tolerance

I wish everyone a wonderful and meaningful 2008
