It’s the first day of the new year. I have wanted to post something along the line of new year resolution but was too busy to get around doing that.
2008, has been a very eventful year, with the passed on of 2 close relatives(especially my uncle), a new addition to my family, quite a number of problems in maids, drastic changes in financial standing among other things. And I am glad I survived. But of course, I am aware that there are going to be tougher times ahead as well. It doesn’t mean that when the clock struck at midnight, all the problems just dissipated. I am fully aware that things are still more or less the same.
My 2 kids have been down with HFMD/Chicken pox(strange, even doctors cant tell me what it is). Good thing, Dillon was discharged yesterday, otherwise my new year’s even will really be spent in the hospital. I admire my sister . She has 3 boys, my parents didn’t really help them much and the 3 kids often take turns to fall sick. Some times they will be vommitting in the middle of the night etc. So tough. How did she survive and have the courage to have 3 kids!
As we grow older, we became lazier or we plan ahead a lot lot more. Some of u might know that I was hoping to find some company to go out and perhaps do some count down together. Obviously, I cancel my plan as response was lousy. Head for the pillow instead, haha..
To think about it, I guess there is nothing new or big tat I am looking forward to in the new year. Instead, sometimes, I feel that it grips me with fear. Not sure what is installed ahead for us, be it good or bad. Instead, I choose to live one day at a time, not wanting to think too far ahead these days. Pessimism? Dun think so, think it is perhaps a practical way for me to cope with life.
But, I still wish that you all have something more to look forward to. And we should all rejoice since we have a little new addition to our council family on this very special day!
Happy New Year 19SC!
