pre-New Year Hijinks

The past year has been interesting, to say the least. A lot, most of which is good, has happened. It was a test of patience in places, a test of strength in some, and a test of will in most.

I will perhaps remember 2015 when it is long past, as the year when I began to recognise how much power I have over my life, as I recovered full throttle, from my long bout with mental illness.

It was a year of blessings, too. I was blessed with clarity, as I began to separate the wheat from the chaff in my life, learned my priorities, and became a little bolder in going after my heart's desires.

And always, as has been my wont, I recognise that I would not have accomplished the things I did, without the guidance and protection of God, on whom I lean when I am weak, my constant source of strength and inspiration, and an Infinite well of Love.

As midnight heralds 2016, my wish for everyone is that we rise above the din of life, find that quiet space in our hearts, open it to God, and welcome our neighbours who need us most in it. For, as the revered genius Albert Einstein put it, only a life lived for others is a life worth living.

Namaste.
