Amid the hustle and bustle, I managed to squeeze some quiet time to think. reflect and ponder on so many things. I also made some resolutions. To name some are:
- I will quit smoking after almost two years of being a chimney. So far, so good.
- I will repair my home, keep it as neat as possible. Repairs done. Neatness is a work in progress.
- Continue to live a simple quiet life. Ce's simple'......
- Continue to try to make someone happy in my own small way. A joke, a cup of coffee a smile.....
- Read more. I gotta a pile of books gathering dust.
- Write more poetry. Thither and yonder.,...
- Continue to save and invest for my retirement. Scroogin' for the future. Build wealth. Save. Spend on essentials.
- Give love a chance, without pay.
- Let go of something like a group, or crew to achieve something else or to simply move on to other things. Yup. I gotta move on.
- Update my Bucket, Thanksgiving and Happy Moments Lists. These lists get so much longer as I age.
- Continue to Love true friends and caring family. Ditch the posers. Love thos that are real. End of discussion.
My life as a middle aging bachelor continues. Farther from the beginning, moving ever closer to the end, as Morrison sang "my only friend, the end".
This year had its moments. It also had its low sides.
Looking back, I have given up on trying to make out the rhyme and reason for what I had to endure. I continue to do so but have also I accepted my fate. I accept that it is all part of a grander scheme of things. There are good things and not so good or rather "challenging" things thrown at you in life.
I can only hope that everything will be alright, in the end. Nah, I know so. Our Lord is with us always.
Everything's gonna be alright.
Happy New Year to all. Peace, Love and Good Vibrations!
