For me, the last year was a truly good one. It showed me the due importance of having a purpose in life, the knowledge of being on the right path in life, the indescribable joy of having found the right sort of people to love, the strength of friendships forged in times of duress, and the kindness of strangers.
I wonder what this one has in store. I wonder which way this crossroads of mixed directions has in mind for me. At this point, the best I can do is wonder.
Exams are drawing inexorably close. I can't decide if I have given them more importance than they deserve or less and which is worse.
Every year's end for almost twelve years now, Ishatai sends me a letter - a real letter in an envelope delivered by the postman and she ends it with a resolution from a proverb or a quote.
I like the one she sent this year and maybe I can borrow it as my resolution, too and if I am very lucky maybe I can keep it.
"To the dreams of thy youth, stay true." - Schiller
Happy New Year, folks!

May this year be as thought provoking and smile evoking as the last one for you. :)
Happy New Year!!!
for me a new year or a birthday has always been just another change of date...
but reading your post make me wonder if they can also be viewed as milestones along a journey, where one may pause a while to wonder where we have been, where we are heading, how long and how far and maybe also how fast!!
Happy New Year Kari! Hope it's everything you want it to be while simultaneously being everything you need.
such an optimist you are. glad you have kept the blog going. most others i like have started to die.
Tangerine, thank you! :) That's a beautiful new year's wish. Happy New Year to you, too! :)
Jester, for me, too, a lot of times these days pass by unnoticed but sometimes, it feels necessary to look at past events in retrospect, to take note of where one has got oneself to, and where one might go from there. So, yes, as you put it so wonderfully in your comment, they are milestones of a sort. :) I don't usually do much introspection so they're really useful, I guess. :) Happy New Year to you!
