Of late, life has been reminding me that life is fleeting and things can change in an instant. Well thought of plans suddenly can go awry. One minute, i can still flex my middle finger properly and the next i have usable middle finger but with a slight deformity. There has been so many changes, apparent or not but they are stark reminders that everyone and everything changes.
What matters though is how we make each moment matter. Not just to you, but to others that you interact with. Part of what gives me great joy now is to hear of people saying at one point in their lives, what I did mattered. Even if it was to simply listen to their woes, or having said something that moved them towards the path they have taken.
It is true that getting on in years puts you in a place you just want to enjoy what life has to offer – with a little drama for spice. But most of all, I want to be at peace with my decisions, so far. To let go of regrets and continue to aspire for more challenges and experiences where i can grow and learn more.
A year older, a year wiser i daresay. I am the same on the whole but parts of me have changed, for the better I hope.
To all who have been part of my journey so far, thank you! Whether you stayed on or has moved on, moved on but still in touch, those who are just starting a journey with me – my wholehearted gratitude.
