I started to write this post while waiting on a lounge for a flight, hence the title. Also, I have described my recent activities using the word 'lounging'. That's because every day in the last week has been like a Saturday; the type that comes with a prior late Friday and followed by a Sunday with no duty calls. It's called being on a holiday.
The year seems not only to have landed with a loud tud, but to have skidded on a run way at frenetic pace. So my holiday (which has not ended any way) has come handy - not only to enjoy the clearance sales overflowing from christmass stock but to allow a much needed calm away from regualr life. The latter is helping me to have a perspetive that I will run the year with. My control freak person at his best!
Who wants to leave anything to chance? Even the sermon in church last Sunday threw an extra garnish on my often-expressed love for the deliberateness of life. So as this year comes with a newness to living, my wish is for all my readers to ensure a deliberate and positive life. That no matter what life throws at us this year, there would be no accidental responses.
This infers chosing to make a joke of an emberrassing moment; making an excuse for others when we prefer they don't act the way they have acted; lighting a candle instead of cursing the darkness; seeing the glass half-full rather than half-empty.It's not control but living according one's terms; living a life of our own. Happy new year everyone!
