There is something about time,
that can either make us be
worried, excited, anxious, concerned, paranoid, giddy, expectant, surprised,
scared, shy, and so much more...
Time...is of the essence, people say.
What does that mean exactly?
When the minutes counted down to the exact second to the New Year,
What was on your mind?
What did you do?
Who were you with?
Did any of those things matter to you?
Is it really that important to remember what you did at the turn of the year?
Such things to ponder...
I was with some dear friends of mine that I hadn't seen in a while.
I was happy.
I was content.
It was a relaxing evening...No wild drinking or costumes, etc.
Just chilling out and playing some games and laughing our heads off.
To me that was a good New Years.
I wouldn't have mind going out to a party and getting wild, but I chose
to relax and just be calm and savor the time.
Time, to me at that moment, was not the most important thing.
What was important to me, was my state of mind, and realizing that I was healthy,
safe, content, and surrounded by people who cared about me.
I pray that this new year brings hope to people who have none.
Faith to those who have lost it.
Joy to those who are sad.
Warmth to those who are cold.
Togetherness to those who have lost someone.
Spirituality to those who can't find their way.
and the list goes on.
I do have one fear for the year ahead, apart from the many things I have to look forward to.
I have fear for our country, as a nation. I do not have much faith in the new President coming aboard, I must admit.
There are so many issues surrounding that, but I will only say that I hope he proves me wrong...No, I PRAY that he proves me wrong.
I have faith in God, and that He will deliver us from those who do wrong, whether it be on earth or in heaven...and I have faith that whatever happens, it is nothing that I cannot handle, for He is my strength.
However I am human, and fear is a part of that humanity.
I'm afraid this blog has ended in more of a sour note than I expected, but that is where this blog has led me, so I only hope for the best.
Be optimistic my friends...
God speed and peace for 2009.
