I got up this morning, and saw light snow cover on the rooftops and ground. The sun shone and so the snow-that reminder of December and winter-disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Today marks the first day of the month of December and the second day of the week. Nothing of particular relevance in the grand scheme of things. Maybe I tie too much value in a particular day or time of year. Still as I looked at the snow, I felt I had come full circle from last year. A year of running around, of trials, tribulations and experiences. Feeling older… am I wiser for it? I do feel I am colder and less accepting.
As I stared at the snow, I wondered if all my efforts in the various aspects of my life simply melt away under a harsh sun. I wondered if I made in-roads at work, at parties and in my life. An answer forms in my head, but not a clear resounding yes. But neither a draining no. Rather a confused jumble of yes and no, some gains but at what losses.
As I stared at the snow, I realized how little time I have left before Advent rushes by. Soon Christmas and New Year’s Day will arrive. There is so much to do and I want a new start in the new year. Time flies and each day disappears like last night’s snow in a year’s sun.
