Today is the 12th day of the New Year and of course a week after the traditional 12th night when all the decorations are removed. I have been so busy at work that the days of this New Year have run rather fast. This is despite the fact that this season of the year comes with longer days. Need less; I would rather have these days dragged along. Life just seems too fast these days.
The past 12 days and a couple before them have been filled with thoughts bordering on finding inspiration for the year. As it is, my life is more expanded than it has ever been and some things are better experienced. I have never been at a loss in finding direction for my life, this time though, I have found myself hesitant about leaving certain comfort zones. I know that whatever the final drift I take, I am going to be pursuing a life of happiness and desires-attained.
I learnt a long time ago not to enslave myself to my goals at the expense of enjoying the gift that life is. This will play out in my life again this year; enjoying the hunt as much as the kill. It’s going to be an exciting year no doubt. I am simply pensive with the details of the deliberateness of life. Yes, for after all, life is what one makes of it.
To all of my readers
Happy New Year! An old friend got in touch with me during my holidays last year. While we did catch-up, he mentioned that he was an avid follower of my blog (HEYMEYVILLE). To this I replied that he ought to have made comments on the posts that caught his particular fancy. As it is traditional to have resolutions at the beginning of a New Year, I hope one of yours would be to write comments “ON” Heymeyville. This feedback is essentially a part of what makes a blog. I would be looking forward to reading from you this year and who knows, we can make a community of it.
Happy new year Sir,and congrats once again on your wedding. I'm also one of the many avid followers of ur blogs,wish you a very great year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year too. I can relate with the incredible pace at which the seconds turn to minutes, then into hours and into days. I guess that happens when you have been busy living life. Like you, I've also discovered we need to step back from all the action, and take time to enjoy the little things like catching up with an old friend, celebrating each new day,cooking a new recipe .. We need these "time outs" to refresh and have a better perspective on life.
ReplyDelete@Sola, thanks for breaking your silent readership. I hope others will be encouraged to do same.
ReplyDelete@Oyinade, life has indeed become quite a pace to keep up with. Taking those "step backs" is one way to state that we are free beings.Thanks for your comment
