some thoughts before 2009
Wednesday, December 31, 2008” We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” - edith lovejoy pierce
A few hours from now and its New Year already! Sounds of firecrackers are getting louder and louder. I’m sure people all over the world are waiting for the clock to strike 12 so they can welcome the new year, the new day, the new hope. I hope too, that in spite of what the world is struggling today, there’ll be a promise of fresh opportunities for us all.
Also, I’ve been watching the news earlier and it kind of made me sentimental. It showed how our fellow Filipinos, from all walks of life, are going to spend and celebrate this occasion. Though some are plagued with problems, you can really see from their faces that they’re happy. Their smiles are expectant and seemed to tell us that there’s hope, why worry? …It really feels good to see happy faces.
I too, am waiting for 2009. I’m positive that it’ll bring me new opportunities. Besides that, I’ll try to be a better person:)
Uhhh…I remember, I haven’t completed my list of resolutions yet…this year, I decided I’ll make one:) Have you made yours?
