Another close and ending is a recent farewell at my work. I’ve never been fond of goodbyes though I am getting better at them as there have been so many in my life.
However, when a work colleague who has been in the same work environment as I for half my presence there, it is yet another loss and at a deeper level. To exacerbate the situation is that I’m one of about five of the oldest employees there (LOL), both literally and figuratively! And her leaving makes me wonder about my life and the direction I'm going.
As humans, we spend approximately one-third of our lives sleeping and yet we probably spend close to two-thirds, or so it seems, of our time working. That's a lot of time!
I know for me and others too, this year has come and gone so fast, too fast. Time is moving quickly and is seemingly speeding up.
What have I learned and what can I carry with me in the following year? Is it true or just a rumour that 2012 will be an auspicious year? Did I hear that right? Did you? Time will certainly tell.
As the year draws to a close, I can ponder over what lessons I have learned and what I want to bring or carry with me into the new year.
What lessons have you learned this year? Any you wish to share?
p.s. All the best to you, me, us all in 2012!
A belated response from me: I noticed a booklet of poems from the EXA (Expressive Arts) Therapy class that graduated a year after mine. Some of the students wrote on 'endings' referring to them as 'beginnings.' How true this is as life is indeed a circle. The cycle is never ending! (Pardon the pun, that just came out!)
