A well start of a new year day when I opened my eyes in the morning, I heard chirping birds singing in the background. Immediately, that brought a smile on my face. And a good thought came to my mind - it's gonna be an awesome year! Welcome 2013!
I love the serenity of the morning, cool fresh air and the singing of the chirping birds, always felt this combination like a symphony resonating a much-needed hope to begin (continue) to walk through the joys and tribulation of a brand new day.
In the transition of the New Year's eve to a New Year day, I cannot expect an immediate "transformation" (this would be so unrealistic), yet a sense of peace and calm subdued my being, readiness to accept the mistakes I had made, embraced forgiveness and healing, and finally moving forward to face what would be unfolding in days to come.
Ain't making a high-profile big-time "Happy New Year"; I ditched the unhappiness in 2012, and looking forward for a gracious new moments ahead :)
And what are my resolutions for the 2013? I think what's crucial for me is to truly learn and practise to trust God fully for his plan for me; learn to pray for my petitions with the right intention; and faithfully learn to obey God for his promises and good intentions.
p.s. Today I finally threw away a pair of old shoes which had been causing me to stumble when I walked.
今天,终于把那双常常拌脚的旧鞋子给扔掉。
