There I was. Standing in the midst of the hustling crowd, all excited faces around me, all waiting for a change - a new start. Some of them might want a new life, a new career, a new direction or maybe even a new love, but they all had one thing in common - all they wished was to leave behind their past full of mistakes and bad memories, a past filled with betrayals and broken hearts, a past that witnessed all disappointments and let downs. They wanted to put it all behind them, and start over new. They all needed to move on, just as this night would leave behind the darkness and turn into a beautiful canvas, with sparkles all over it, in few minutes. Yes, it's the New Year's Eve party. And I could see all eyes around me carrying that sparkle in them, ready to take risks, ready to go for another adventure, to face their fears, to dare playing with their hearts again.

Welcome to the Link-up! I am so glad you joined us! These are great habits. Your habit to break reminds me of one I did when we first started the link up- the habit was to stop using technology at least 30 minutes before bed.

Best of luck to you this month- looking forward to reading the updates!

My focus this year is my dream of being a writer and speaker. They go hand in hand for me. I'm intentionally making time to do that.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie!
DeleteIt's a great dream.. Good luck :)

ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, girl: I hate allegedly 'pseudo-socializing', yet, I keep my friends, what few of em I do have, at arms length; I'm like you I guess, as truer words were never spoken: my only friend, and what a fab-you-lous Friend He is, is Jesus. I don't have time for anyone else. Though I'm a young-whipper-snapper, I'm old and soon to croak. Here's a wealth of philantropic epiphanies. N'joy.
ReplyDeletePROCEED AT YOUR OWN WISK!!
