Life can be ecstatic, exciting and extraordinary...
if you make it to be.
The magic of the coming of a new year is that people always feel that it gives them a fresh start. Like a personal reset button, if you will. I guess change is always so hard to do or accept, that's why we need this magical or mythical push.
The last four months of '09 were the roughest for me - the twin typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng happened, my dear friend Matt passed on, I didn't get the job that I posted for, I continued to struggle with my hormonal imbalance and metabolism problems (which have started to affect my liver) and well, relationship-wise, it was more lows than highs. Which is why, I longed for the magic of 2010 more than any other coming of a new year. I wanted '09 to be over and done with.
But the truth is, every new waking day is a chance to start afresh. A chance to right the wrongs. A chance to make up for the misses. A chance to be better. A chance to love more. A chance to be stronger. A chance to be kinder. A chance to finally surrender and let go.
It's the second day of the year and I'm thinking that I know I have given it my all. Giving up and letting go are two different things. But tough as I am, I get weak when it comes to the matters of the heart.
So today, on this 2nd day of the new year, of the new decade, I ask for willpower. I want to be rid of the things that are eating me up alive. I deserve to live, and live well. We all do.
Today - 01022010 is a palindrome day. Maybe that means I will get what I asked for. Here's to living well and living strong!
