Another year hath cometh to an end. A significant sign of time passing us by…again. It is the end of another beginning, a transit to the next stage. A brand new year awaits ahead of us and I can’t help but wonder about the year that just went by. The disasters, deaths and all the global instability…for the poor of course and the unlucky ones.Have I live it to the fullest?…is it the best of what I can achieve? Where are my just rewards for all the hard work? These thoughts roll through my head and I think….I am blessed to be still very much alive. That is perhaps the greatest gift this year. In biblical context, I hath cross the line and came back to the living once more. Those who know me know what I mean. I felt like I have survived a terrorist attack…well..sort of… so, my head is still attached to my shoulders. A jolly good job my boy…I’m one of the lucky ones.Is it a blessing or is it a curse to live on amongst the living? That is highly debatable by philosophical standards, I will leave it to the fanatics. For me, I’m just glad and thrilled to try again at being alive. It is a joyous process indeed to know that challenges and more obstacles awaits my every step. The consolation of all the hard work for persevering and getting stressed out with life is to be able to strike a balance and relax when tired and exhausted.At the end of the day, it is like fine wine…most sweet when flavored in a warm ambience over some paradise getaway and reminisce over bygone days. Hopefully without any earthquakes or Tsunami to go with.Do not feel alone and troubled by what you face and see. Because appearances are never what they seem and often have you heard it told. You got to know what rocks and jive to it like a sucker leech…..suck enough and then let go. We are all suckers in a primordial sense, every single one of us….from the day we were born till the day we die..literally and metaphorically. Dwell on that thought babies, as you step forward to the coming year. Just one thing, don’t suck the wrong thing. You never know wat cha gonna get. It might contain some variant virus like a nasty flu…or worst.For me life’s like a servitude between people and you always have a master to answer to. Some have more masters than others while some believe they answer to nobody but themselves. The ones on top usually answers to the most masters. As I ponder, being in the middle of the hierarchy works just fine. So, to all of you out there…it’s been a pleasure serving you all as I hope you have for me.Live a good long life. For goodness! Evil stand back!
