Happy New Year Everyone!!

 

Its that time of the year again, when we are all busy wrapping up. Another year; another season; another month; another chapter in our lives... is drawing to a close.

While the various cultures around the world celebrate the setting in of the New Year in different ways, let us all look back and take a moment to recount the events of the past year.

Many of us have lost ones we love;

Many of us have found that those who promised to be by us, are no longer there.

Many of us have come to the ends of so many roads, 

Yet found so many beginnings in the past year.

So many of us have had tears.. Tears of Joy, Anger, Sorrow, Frustration and maybe even tears of uncertainty.

But looking back, I'm sure most of us can say that we are no more who we were when the year had set in.

  

As the year comes to a close, let us:

Be thankful for all the lessons learnt, the experiences gained, the people who've been with us through the dark hours and the bright ones; the victories achieved and the defeats that have come our way. 

Be humbled by the realization that we are among the lucky few who have made it into 2015. 

Keep in our prayers, those who are no more with us and those who are not fortunate enough to enjoy the many comforts we do.

So, together, let us welcome 2015, while keeping in mind that we must:

Look to the past and learn from it; look at the present and do what we can; and look to the future with the hope that we can leave it better than when we enter it.

 To a better tomorrow.
