My definition of happiness now is quite different from the past. I am more comfortable in my own skin. I have learned that I am my own best friend. There will always be good and not so nice people along the way and each imparts a lesson or two. Living a 360-degree turn-life does not make me callous, in fact it evokes more acute pangs of sadness, emptiness, peace, contentment and everything in between.
Life continues to roll with its share of changes and challenges, bumps and smooth roads along the journey. Through it all, few things remain constant- unwavering faith, hopeful trust and a grateful heart.
2016 had been nice to me. I look forward to 2017 with eagerness and positivity. May it be a fruitful and wonderful one for all of us.
Faith.Hope.Courage.
