Its Christmas today. Which simply means, its 5 more days before we embark to a new year. Started typing few sentences and I'm almost in tears. How fast time flies and how 2011 brings a love-hate relationship I have towards it. Masya'Allah.
Shukran Ya Allah for the pain you gave me for it gave me more strength and knowledge, the happiness you shine upon me for it made me grateful for the life some people may not have. But nothing made me for thankful for the ability to love and wake up to a new day everyday. However it is, I am looking forward to a new year which I pray opens new and wider horizons for my life. Insya'Allah.
Claire: "It's suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the New Year, to stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps - our promises made, and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures - or closed ourselves down, for fear of getting hurt. Because that's what New Year's is all about: getting another chance. A chance to forgive, to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more. And stop worrying about 'what if' and start embracing what would be. So when that ball drops at midnight - and it will drop - let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other. And not just tonight but all year long."
- Claire Morgan from the movie New Year's Eve (Starred by Hilary Swank)
