Turning over a new leaf!


"Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits."

~Author Unknown


Once again, it's that time of the year when we all decide to turn a new leaf. When we leave behind an amazing experience of three hundred and sixty five days. Over the last fifty two weeks, we've all tasted success, confronted failure- we've laughed-cried, perhaps lied. We've hurt and have been hurt. But most importantly- we've all learnt something to take with us into another wonderful opportunity called the New Year.


Its it funny how we resolve each year to be better, nicer, kinder or stronger. Because I've tried it all- resolving to take out time to exercise, to work harder, wake up early, submit assignments on time or just help mum in the kitchen more often! But as you probably would have guessed- I got caught up with my routine all over again - and all these wonderful promises naturally took a back seat. I guess that's one of the reasons I stopped making resolutions a long time ago. Besides, it sounded ridiculous to wait for the end of the year to make amends.


But when I do think over it, the beginning of each new year gives a lot of us a chance to reassess ourselves and our lives- despite it being just another ordinary day on the calendar.


Either way- this year's been great with all those ups and downs, tears and smiles and much, much more! Because one thing's for sure, I'm all set to battle another year now and make the most of it too.


Happy New Year All!
