Now that it has been ages since I have blogged about anything, here is another attempt at what could get me going again. It is almost the end of the year, and what an year this has been - one where I have been so down to the pits that I thought I would never emerge out of it, to one where I have felt to be on top of this world. What this means is that I have enough to reflect about and I decided to participate in Weverb12 - which gives you a prompt everyday to reflect and move forward. As expected, I missed the prompts for the first few days and here goes the first 4 prompts collectively. Also, I won't be following the prompts strictly as per the instructions, I will just look at the prompt and write about what comes to my mind when I hear it.
1. Compose
Retaining my composure is something that I am really bad it. I panic easily and get nervous in less than a minute for the silliest things. I tend to imagine the worst that could possibly happen. Surprisingly, I manage to keep this nervousness to myself in most cases, but ya, it does spill over at times. The next year, I want to see myself understanding that there would be situations where all I could do is to wait and watch. Panicking won't do me any good.
2. Watch
Like I said earlier, wait and watch. Take a pause. Watch the rains. Watch the early morning sunshine. Watch a school bus full of excited kids go by. Watch the cake rise in the oven. Watch the beautiful formation that birds fly in. Just watch.
3. Stay
Staying in the moment is so hard. The anxiety of what will happen next takes over and almost ruins it. Both me and S are people who always think about future rather than just being in the moment. Hopefully 2013 teaches us to just stay in the moment and relish.
4. Experiment.
We experimented with impulsiveness. Yes. We have been crazy with some stuff this year. Last year, this time we had not even thought about buying a house and here we are, moved in to our own home. It was such an impulsive decision that we don't believe we managed to pull through. Here is to more such experiments.
Here's hoping that I will continue posting through this month.
