A new year has almost arrived. It promises to bring happiness and wash away the tears left in the previous year. Most of us are busy preparing to welcome the next year in a pompous way. Shopping, celebrating, engaging themselves in social gatherings. While the preparations to allow the new year come with a bang, I am wondering about the year that just breezed by. The way I had wanted it to start, the new year resolutions, the greetings and wishes exchanged, the promises made for a better future, for a better life.
Every year we strive to make the coming year a better, richer experience than the previous one. One way to do this is to do good things and surely good things do happen to us. One other way, is to stop doing what is wrong. We all wish to learn from mistakes. At some point we all wish to make a new beginning, to start over from scratch. We wish to leave behind our dark, sinful past which has marks of our mistakes. We wish to color the canvas of our life in the brightest of colors without the slightest hint of darkness.
This year lets strive to not to bad things, because no matter how much merit one gets because of the good deeds one does, one never gets excused for the bad one has done. I look back on how the year went, many joyous moments, some sad and heartbreaking ones. The smiles I got and the laughter I shared, the arguments I fought and the tears I shed, the hearts I won and the love I lost, it’s all always going to be there. But life gives me another chance, so I can make a new start this year and make amends.
Happy new year and a happy new beginning………..
