It is the new year and a time for reflection.
My thoughts travel not so much to should-have-could-have-would-have regretful reflection but one of pondering accomplishments achieved, challenges overcome, and opportunities that lie ahead. In many ways, 2014 was a long and difficult year for me and there are still challenges ahead in 2015. Nevertheless, as I approach another fork in my journey of life, I can honestly say I am looking forward with eager anticipation to choosing which way I now need to go, and I am excited at the prospect of new adventures that await me.
I have been reading others’ thoughts on beginning the new year. One blogger invited us all to think of a word for 2015. Another blogger went further than 2015 and invited readers to look inside their ‘destiny’ box to view their future. That made me think of three things – the place I am currently at with the darkness now behind me, my aims for 2015, and my future destiny. In each of those places, I thought of light.
These are my hopes and dreams for me for now, for this coming year and for my future –
- To reach towards and follow the light out of my darkness and pain…
- To embrace the light in the day-break of my own new beginnings …
- To see the light by gaining insight, understanding and awareness …
- To experience the light of new Ideas, opinions and ventures …
- To have a light in my eyes, for my eyes to sparkle with joy …
- To have a light disposition by becoming cheerful and engaged …
- To carry a light weight by being less burdened by baggage …
- To reflect the light of inspirational people …
- To show the light of hope to others less fortunate than myself …
- To be the light – to guide, to inspire, to ignite …
I see the light.
I feel the light.
I am the light.
