The year 2016 I
declared as the year of exploring – I chose this word because I truly wanted to
open myself to newer experiences and learning; I did succeed to some extent.
I travelled to new
destination with my friend and created beautiful memories with my daughter
I together with David
decided to renovate my house and brought in lot of changes to make it a
comfortable place, de cluttered and kept minimal things which are basic and
cleared the rest, creating spaces which can be maintained neat.
I am also glad my daughter
Dorothy is completing her 10th Standard this academic year and she
has been doing well; taking responsibility for her studies and coping well with
a lot of adjustments specially when David had gone for the laser treatment; and
I had to deal with my own health issues, she has been extremely accommodative
and helped both of us; she has been a blessing in our lives.
I let go of all the
painful experiences that generated anger, resentment, doubt and replaced it
with love, peace and harmony. I took a deliberate decision to say good bye to
all forms of toxic that hindered me and our family from being loving,
trustworthy and united. I am glad to
create a new set of loving relationships around me that is genuine, authentic filling
me with positive energy and peaceful disposition.
Grateful!! New Year
that has dawned, welcome 2017!!!

I have not made any
resolutions; by default, health will
remain a priority in the family- integrating physical exercise, praying,
practising gratitude, affirmations, mindfulness
and a few Yogasana’s and choosing healthy food will be part of process
of staying healthy.
I did not succeed in
reading books, though I began well read a couple of books in the first quarter
of the year, but was not consistent, hopefully this year I will pick up some
books for myself for reading…
Some plans to pursue
academically; continuing education to keep my updated, understanding the
current psychological problems of young people in the university, a desire to
be a lifelong learner and perpetual student
in the hope of being useful to family and society at large.
I do have some travel
plans which is subject to my daughter and husband’s leave and holidays;
hopefully a few places with friends which is still in the planning stage.
This year hope to share
whatever resources within my limits with the less fortunate, children and yes
women – who have become my priority.
I expect a lot more to
happen as this year unfolds, being open to learning new skills, helping my
daughter and husband to also evolve goals that would bring meaning and
happiness together as a family.
Life is unpredictable
and we never know what holds for us in the future – but one thing is certain
that having travelled this far, I am open for surprises, and will enjoy the
moments and will never cease to smile and be happy despite any change.
Happy New Year 2017!!
Wishing you and your
family peace, health and harmony all through the year …
