My New Year 2008
January 2, 2008
The clock was silently ticking, doing its own countdown. Hubby and I sat, waiting for the clock to strike at 12:00mn. New Year’s eve was different this time. We have decided not to do anything coz (except that I have prepared 12 different kinds of fruit on our dining table) we had a lot going on on Christmas and we were having a get-together on the 1st of January. Hubby and I had our own personal reflections before the New Year’s eve…
When the clock stroke at 12:00mn, we greeted each other, got mushy mushy a bit… then we started sharing our own personal reflections… of life’s challenges for the past year 2007… and of God’s greatness inspite of these challenges.
It was, again, very special. We had a break down of our evaluations. My breakdowns were: spiritual, physical, emotional, phsycological, financial, and intellectual. Hubby’s one was for individuals like me, his kids, his family, his work, and his friends. It was very interesting… especially when we evaluated our resolutions the other year. We got better in some areas, in some areas we need to work out more a bit.
Our resolutions have once again been written down…
We’ll see what we can do about these… if we can do them. We set up a not-so-high ones… just nice for us to be done, to be reached.
But one thing in our resolutions that stand out and will always be there is to be always beautiful. Hehehe.. who doesn’t want to be one? Am not talking about physical beauty (although it’s in one of those that were listed down)… But a beauty deep within. Be beautiful inside and out… and that’s to be a blessing. A blessing in all aspects of our lives. It’s not what we get or earn (a respect, an appreciation, or even acknowledgement) that matters… It’s about what we sow or give that builds eternal treasure that matters the most. To be a blessing in terms of giving out ideas, sharing of talents, knowledge and above all, friendship.
We ended up our reflections with prayers for the year 2008.
What about you? What did you resolve to do this year? Care to share?
