A time to pause

Another year is coming to an end. I'm not sure if its just my imagination or if it's truly so, but I feel that the years seem to be going by faster nowadays. Maybe it is our fast paced lives. Or maybe its because we begin to value life more and more as we grow. Or maybe its because the ratio of 1 divided by our age (current year compared to our whole life) is getting smaller every year.

Nevertheless, for me, the end of a year is a time to pause and reflect. It serves as a milestone where one can look back at the events of the past year with nostalgia, and look forward at the coming year with hope.

And once I'm done looking back and forth for the next 12 days, I'll go out and party :)

Wishing all of you out there a happy new 2008!

Right you are. maybe that's why i've also been in that frame of mind for a while now. Somehow i feel sad when things come to an end... even if it's just a year...It'll take a while to remember and write 2008 from jan 1st tho ;) hey 'happy new year ' to u too.

My year has gone by slow.
I guess when you are waiting for something to happen and it does not, time just does not fly by soon enough.

this year no matter what i will remember for ever - lot of upheavals in my life - but hey thats what life is all about.....

i am not really anticipating 2008 as i grow a year older in the first few days we enter in the new year.....physically older but mentally i dunno :)

absolutely true is saying that the year passes very quickly ...and i wonder why people say it is a "long life" -(zindagi bahut lambi hoti hai)

Romila said...
