YEAR-END THOUGHTS

Reflecting as this year is about to come to an end.. I would like to look at it in correlation to the proverbial way of thinking of your time as a huge jar and filling it with rocks (rocks being your top priorities), pebbles (mundane daily things i need to do) and sand (the not so important but seemingly urgent). This year has been basically about dumping everything out the jar and starting over.. I have examined all the rocks , pebbles and sand and really taken the time to figure out what most of the rocks and pebbles matters in my life. I have even tossed a few of them out..

There were rocks which have remained to be as one for a couple of years, only to find out they’re better left for disposal since it has been doing nothing more than damaging my jar.. while there are pebbles so fine that I always got to overlook at, but finally realized they have been very important at filling in those “gaps” .

I have never looked at relationships, my health (gawd after 29 years i finally got hospitalized!), my values and even more importantly my individual relationships with my family and friends in the same way I did this year.. What I learned this year is that forgiveness is the best thing you can do for yourself, so I have managed to forgive a few who truly hurt my feelings, while cut those who give you bad vibes, and take the courage and cut out if necessary some who bring too much baggage with themselves no fault of either side, it is simply bad luck.. finally carry on doing good, for no reason except the joy of doing it..

The end of the year seem to have taken me by surprise. So many things I wanted to do, but somehow didn't get around to. People I wanted to see, places I wanted to go.. But I can't regret the way the year has gone.

I have high expectations for 2011. Life’s challenges have a way of smoothing out, of showing a path. I extend my wishes for my family to all my friends. Make 2011 count. Love every day of your life. Bless this gift of life and extend your heart to all you hold dear.

Be selfish and be selfless.. get my drift? hehehe

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :)
