Gazing through my window to a vast snow canvas and my thoughts travel back to the same time last year. I am half way through my current reading and I can’t help but smile at the irony of entering a new year with an unfinished book. As much as I want to complete the book, I also don’t want it to end. It comforts my heart to carry the same story, along with the same good memories to a new year. I don’t want to remove my warm jacket from this year.
I am also checking my new year resolutions and for once my heart feels at ease. I neither had any strong commitments nor ambitious targets and even if there were some I feel like I can still continue with this coming year. No massive achievements but there were some losses along the way, just to remind me of the lessons I have been learning every time. Even so, my emotions were stable and the year unfolded itself beautifully free from chaos and dramas.
Slight escape to home from Japan was my fondest memory of this year. For I have felt what it means to miss home and to be home after staying away from it for so long. As much as it’s adventurous to be in a foreign land, the heart always yearns for the home as the day ends. Still I am aware that I will be missing being away from home the same time next year.
There was a time when I was all about new year and fresh promises but this time I feel reassured to go with the same old book with the same stable emotion with the determination to complete all my unfinished commitments.
So here I am stepping to yet another year with a heart full of gratitude for a stable memory and with the hopes for more beautiful memories in the year 2026.
