~:[CH7 - Day 365]:~ And Just Like That ...
Sadly, I had a lot of work to do today. Since I am leaving soon, I had to finish everything today along with the cooking and errands to prep for the dinner later on. Deadlines are the worst, but they do keep you on top of your game and that I was. I was efficient and as the dinner approached, I was finishing up with my work. Before the ball dropped, I was done. It could have easily been a moment where I complained about having to do the work, but I tried my best to bounce back and forth, as I worked and talked to get it all completed. Life is too short to complain about all we have to do or all that we don't have, rather, we need to find a way to balance what we have to do, with the opportunities that lay before us. Not everything is going to go well in life and if you sulk day after day, you're only going to live a miserable life and drive others away from you. Enjoy what you have and think not about what you don't because just like that, the day, the week, the month, the year, the life will reach its end. In life, there are definitely things we cannot control, but we can control how we react to them. Moments can be devastating, but if we let those moments break us, it becomes even more so. As I close out my 2018, I am so grateful for all the friends I made, all the ones I kept in contact with, the family that I have been able to love and all that I've been able to do. It hasn't been perfect, but that's part of the process of life. Keep moving forward and you'll find yourself much further along and finding a lot more opportunities in the process. Tomorrow is no different than today and while many will begin the year with resolutions, it's just another day. It's just another day that we can chose to live and move forward or get dragged down by what life has in store for us. I have a pile of deadlines waiting for me, but as I move into 2019, I'm not going to let myself ever stop moving forward. As while resolutions are meant to be broken, we must be resolute in our promise to ourselves to keep moving forward because just like that we'll find ourselves at the end of another year that can be wonderful or not. Let's all aim for wonderful. Happy New Year!
