A Note
I am just over an hour away from saying goodbye to 2021. It is that time of the year when we make some useless resolutions and send forward messages to every social media platform and WhatsApp groups as we possibly can. I am not that guy haha. Right now, I take this as an opportunity to do some reflection on my life this past year. Have I changed one bit in the last twelve months? Yes, I gained weight and now my rear end looks big (chuckles). Also, I have started to take accountability for my actions a bit.
I am more open than the 2020-ME as I have expressed a bit more to the ones standing next to me. It brings me joy to know that I have managed to be the reason for some people's smiles…I am now an approachable person…grumpy but approachable. More importantly, I now see no reason to not give some folks the finger. Yes, I managed to give them what they deserve.
With many positives lined up, there have to be some negatives too. I had some losses this year as I had to say the unexpected goodbyes to my close friends, two of them separated by just a week. Anything that lives has a death I know, but when it happens you are least prepared and you just freeze. Always in my heart my dear ones, Always!
Now onto the more general side of life, I would like to thank my guardian angels for watching over us all. I know there are a lot of folks going through some hard times and I wish them the strength to keep fighting. I know some will have a reason to complain but let me remind you that it is easy to complain but a lot difficult to embrace the gift. The gift that you and I are here, in this minute, very much alive and we are standing together. I wish brighter days ahead for all of us, our families, and the children in this coming year. 2021 started with a lot of uncertainty but here we are…another New Year's Eve…another tomorrow to look forward to.
Thank you.
