Greetings in the name of the New year

It's 2015, and if you are reading this then YES we made it. 2014 is now past and 2015 is our new present moment. I believe there's a reason why me and you made it this far. I don't know you and probably will never get the opportunity to, but I thank God for you. And NOT just because you are reading my blog right now but I strong believe there's a purpose behind ever life. I also believe this purpose if not properly cared for can easily become corrupt.

If you are reading my blog then I would like to believe you are not a corrupted seed; in a matter of fact i believe that you are a non-corruptible seed.
A new season is  a time of joy for most; a chance for a new start or time to complete what one has started. However, from personal experience I know it is not so for everybody. For some it is a very difficult time in their lives. Some are anxious about what comes ahead while for some they still remain in the past.

Today in South Africa school opened for the year for the grade R to grade 12 pupils. For some its a time of joy and reunions but for some it's a depressing moment in their lives. This is so far all grades. For the 1st time school goers it's a beginning of a new adventure. some kids will adapt easily while some may struggle a little but will eventually get there.

Its amazing how I don't remember much about my 1st day at school doing Standard 1 which is now called grade 1. I suppose my age played a role there considering I was 4 years three months at the time. Nevertheless I do remember how fun school use to be. Now looking back at my early school years I must just appreciate how naive I was because although we didn't have much then it never really mattered to be. All I cared about was new toys, sweets and new clothes for Christmas. The rest I never put much thought into it.

Now I'm grown and with age comes responsibility and most importantly wisdom. Bernard Shaw once said "Youth is a wonderful thing. It's only crime is that it is wasted on the young". This quote made me see the importance of one's youth and the value of the old wisdom. In 2015 I seek to gain wisdom from the old and experienced and to expand the capabilities of my youth. I don't know what your goals are for this year but I can tell you one thing: If you haven't started yet then you are two weeks behind. get to work.
As from me i look forward to writing to you some more. stay blessed and happy new year.
