ASANSH Family wishes to all Happy New Year
Well, we’ve actually made it through year two of the pandemic and, considering everything, that’s no small feat.
And now, as we turn the page toward 2022, we know that it won’t be without its challenges, but even then, it’s important to stop and smell the roses and really analyze all the things that work for us. There are things that we could improve on, and stuff that we should leave behind. Because while 2020 was all about keeping your head above water and 2021 was about getting your footing and adjusting to the new norm, 2022 is about strengthening your roots and perhaps coming up with a game plan for the next couple of years ; for, as the experts claim, China’s”gift” to the world seems to be entering the endemic phase, meaning it isn’t going away any time soon and it’ll always be around in a more predictable and less severe form and we’ve just got to learn to live with it.
But this attitude isn’t going to help. Leading through the pandemic has been hard, exhausting, and sometimes terribly sad. But hopefully, we are entering 2022 with a fortified tool kit of experiences. After a miserable year-and-a-half, alternating between lockdowns and new outbreaks, we have to hope and pray that life will finally begin returning to some semblance of normalcy.
Every New Year’s Eve, I write a list of resolutions. Some are practical (daily brisk walk, without fail), while others are a bit of a stretch (write a novel……..which I have never got down to so far). These promises to myself run the whole gamut — from physical to mental, possible to improbable — but all have one thing in common. They serve as my own personal road map for the next 12 months.
And I’m not alone. The concept of creating New Year’s resolutions is ingrained in our culture. The truth is, most of us will do the same thing we always do: set some goals that will be forgotten about by the 7th January, or thereabouts.
So this year, I’m throwing the rulebook out the window and NOT setting any resolutions or goals !
“What! But it’s New Year. A time to restart the clock, to set about achieving all that’s possible and to fulfill my potential!”
Hey, I am middle-aged, middle class and married.
Ha, ha……not many readers would remain on this page after reading that line. But that’s who and what I am, and I’m kinda okay with it. Anyways, I mentioned my socio-economic data only to point out that I am mature enough not to fall for such stupid lines any more because I don’t want to find myself in exactly the same position this time next year, thinking the same thoughts and feeling the same feelings.
Alas, New Year’s resolutions are notoriously unsuccessful. You make plans but life gets in the way. So rather than rushing forward in a panic to set resolutions or a list of goals I can start on New Year’s day, I intend to forget all that and enter the New Year in a mode of being absolutely present, and absolutely positive about how great it’s going to be. Hopefully, if I endeavour to maintain this approach, I may end up doing everything I’m supposed to as and when it’s supposed to be done. (Fingers crossed).
Like many, I haven’t enjoyed what I’ve seen in the world lately. But I intend to “laugh more” because I feel that humour offers us a way to try and make sense of the chaos around us. While we can’t go back and change the past, fortunately for us, we have the power to make the future as bright as possible, and humour gives us an outlet to do so.
Will humor in itself solve the current issues we’re faced with? Of course not. But it turns out it’s a surprisingly good place to start. So this new year, I intend to change the narrative and see the magic! I’m sure the chapters will be happier and worth reading later on!
We have navigated our way through the choppy waters of the pandemic and on New Year’s Eve there’s nothing better than toasting the fact that we have successfully lived to the end of another year.
I copy and do some modification to make the blog.
