It's already almost the end of 2012. And I find myself wondering where the year went. But as usual, this emotion is quite a common one during the end of any year.
I had several plans and aims this year. But, as usual there wasn't enough time to follow through with them all. I moved from the Western part of India to the Northern part this year. I changed jobs. I also changed houses thanks to the move and lost a lot of time getting used to all the change to notice the time that flew right past me.
Today, as I sit here wondering about it, I realize that it doesn't matter, it is not necessarily of any major consequence.
Have you ever woken up real early in the morning? And just stood and watched the birds wake up, the sun rays get stronger, the stray dogs stretch lazily or the plants brighten up? It's actually quite a calming experience to watch the world wake up as you stand up with a cup of warm tea of coffee in your hand. It makes you realize that nothing is of any real consequence in the world than sleeping stress-free every night and waking up the next morning. The world does it, day after day. Why shouldn't we?
As I get ready to bid another goodbye to another year of this new millennium, I also put in perspective what matters and what doesn't in all our short lives.
"Live not for what tomorrow may or may not hold. Live for the world, now, today".
