On the threshold of 2016

Another year, by God's grace will come to an end ushering in promises of hope and joy. Like every beginning holds promises of a better me, 2016 will be no different. 2015 has taught many invaluable lessons which will remain etched in my mind.

A student's passing on, a flood, a concert, . . . - 2015 sure was a mixed bag of emotions. It has not ended still but gratitude is nevertheless due for this year which over and over reminded me that I am not alone in this journey - my faith is always there to lean on. That I am more than a conqueror is being reiterated time and again and the reason is not because I overcame many pitfalls but that every pitfall reminds me to get up and move forward.

Cheers to new beginnings and unexpected changes!

The road ahead seems promising
 

 

Thankful

It feels wonderful to be able to step into a new year once again with love, hope and joy.

The last time I wrote an entry here, I was in another place. Thanks be to Almighty, we are now in a place that we are learning to love and enjoy. The last month especially has been a month of many changes - mental, spiritual and physical. I can sense that the Universe is hearing me out and trying its best to take care of me. Finally, I feel at peace with my surroundings and physical environment, which is very important for mental peace and serenity.

There have been difficult situations both online and offline but looking back it seems that they have passed on for good. The paths weren't easy and joyous always but we are still learning - leaning to make peace and plod on inspite of everything.

There have been sad events all around me but still I hope and have faith.

As I am on the threshold of 2013, I strive to be more aware and joyous.

Joy always.

My cup overflows as I enter another year with promises ringing in my ears and high-spirits awaiting to raze to the ground any oncoming challenges.

I could not have got this spirit without my fellow travellers in the real as well as in the virtual world. I am glad that you are walking along with me, maybe ahead or behind or by my side. But the assurance that you are there somewhere strengthens me.

I thank the sacred for enveloping me and giving me the grace and courage to keep moving on. What more do I need.

A wellspent year

Thinking of the passing year, I feel an assortment of emotions - loss, joy, triumphs, lessons, experience. If I had to list the things I am grateful for, I am afraid this post shall be way too long.

As I have entered the new year, I am grateful that I am alive, happy, possess a sound mind in a sound body, have people around me who cherish my presence and love me, bloggers who encourage me, my pastor who teaches and guides me, the word which sustains me and above all my Lord who never ever leaves me despite the fact that I have not been very faithful.

New year always brings new challenges, hopes, dreams and expectations. I just pray that this year, I shall be better than the last.

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day
