New Year, that time of the year we get a chance to reflect on those things we should have done, those people we could have/should have helped, a brand new beginning a chance to start again, to change those things about ourselves and our lives that we are not happy with, to take the perverbial bull by the horns, and start the year again with a clean page........ we get to chose the "ink" we get to chose the "font" we get to chose the "format" and is that not what new beginnings are all about choices ..........
Yesterday i spoke to someone at a braai, he was outside smoking and i asked him, why he had not given up smoking as a New Years resolutions, as it was expensive and unhealthy, his answer was he only makes one New Years resolution every year and this year it was to wake up and jump straight into the pool........ it made me think how sad, that he had nothing to challenge himself with, nothing to push himself towards, his goals for the year had been achieved two minutes after he had woken up, although we don't always succeed New Years Resolutions give us the opportunity to reflect, on our lives and what we can and need to do to make them richer ............ It doesn't matter that you don't always succeed............... what matters is your tried...................
In line with my decisions before my daughter and i went on our "road trip" i have been trying to do everything differently, but just a word of advise for future reference, Morrocan Lamb is not a supper option on a long trip it is very........very ....... very rich and the 330 kilometers between Bloemfontein and the first garage is very far when you have a need ...............................
My New Year definitely started off differently i stayed in my pyjamas until 11 o'clock, i am normally up early and by at least 7 o'clock am bathed and dressed and ready to start the day, i can tell you it was not easy, the bath i am positive was calling my name, and i had to fight of the temptation to do things the same, I made the salads, i made the pudding for the braai, i did the washing, i hung all the pictures that have been lying around all year waiting for someone to have the time to show them off on the walls, i gave myself a face mask and walked around for an hour looking like a cracked old clay pot ............. and then had the bath, i must say i quite enjoyed it and think i will definitely make it something that i incorporate into my weekends.
I made a point at the braai to speak to every person there and realised that we all just want to be accepted, that we all want to be part of something, that we all need to belong .......................... it is amazing how interesting people are when you just take the time to talk to them.
This morning i woke up and realised for the first time in a long time i had dreamt last night, the dream was so vivid, and so weird ......... because i dream't that i was getting married, which is strange because of the fact that i have started divorce proceedings........... so i looked up what this means and i was amazed and surprised by what i read............
"Marriage symbolizes the union of the opposite forces in your psyche and the consequent achievement of wholeness, marriage is a symbol of the power and wisdom that lies in the deep parts of our psyche"
And all i could add to that is WOW ......................
