This is my December!

Today, 1st December, marks the beginning of the end to 2011. We are left with a mere 31 days and counting to the start of a new year, new promises & renewed hope.

But the focus should not be on the coming year. No, not yet!


For me, I view the next 31 days as the most crucial time of the year. Simply put, we have 31 days to make the most of 2011 so that we may leave it as we see fit. For those who've had a tough year, you can either reflect on the past 11 months and spend the remaining days cursing your luck while the clock ticks down on your precious time, OR you can make use of these 31 days to make plans for the next year with optimism. For those who've enjoyed the past 11 months of their life, make it 12 & bring that joy into the next year.

You see, we decide how we want to live our life, how we want to start new years and end the old ones. It's too easy for us to be judgemental and cynical towards life. We always complain & linger over the past without ever looking forward, constantly looking back over our shoulders. Before we know it, we've never really enjoyed the scenery that passes us by on our journey. Sceneries that include family, friends and moments that can never be repeated.

For me, I'm going to try and make the most of the next 31 days. How about you?
