In retrospect...

It's been 6 months since I started blogging. And even as I read through my blog entries for the last 6 months, I marvel at the change that has taken place. From a shy tentative blogger who was insecure about writing for the rest of the world to read, I became more confident, more expressive and more open about my life and myself.

The blog also charts my personal growth and development as a person. Even as I'm joting down my thoughts and life's lessons learnt, I myself were learning from the articles that I was writing. In just the last 6 months, I learnt so many lessons that will do me well for the rest of my life...

I learnt about forgiveness, about writing in sand when people hurt me. In fact, if people can be won over to this concept of writing in sand, the world will really become a better place, one person at a time. And for the things that I'm grateful about, to write them on hard rock, so I will never forget or turn ungrateful.

And I've learned to not merely talk about the quality of Mercy, and Mercy being superior to Justice, and Mercy being an attribute of God, but to practise it in my life.

And I know that, should anything happen to me tomorrow (Touch wood! Haha!), there will be at least some people mourning my death. And I feel like the luckiest person alive, to be so blessed with people who love me and are so concerned about my welfare, even to the point of putting theirs to one side. For that, I am so grateful.

And, whatever happens, I am going to hang on to my sense of humour about life. And to remember to be thankful and grateful for all my blessings.

Happy Christmas everyone! Peace on earth and good will to all men! May you have peace in your heart, and may you be surrounded by people who love you and whom you love! For these are the greatest blessings of all!
