In retrospect...

What do you know... It is 2013 (already!) and mid March, no less...

Oh boy, where do I even begin..

As with most folks out there, at this time of the year we tend to gasp in disbelief that we are already into the first quarter of the brand new year, when it felt like we just saw the New Year's fireworks just the other night.

Anyway, as of previous years, I did not have any new resolution this year, it was more of a continuation of pursuit of a dream from the year before.

When I started this blog, I did not really have a theme in mind, as most bloggers do, too. I just felt the need to write. As it turned out, it became my cryptic but therapeutic, no less,  online journal.

Rewind to 2010, I stood over an edge of a cliff  and saw this similar view.

 
It was then , I started to feel a slight tug at my heart. And at that cliff edge, I planted my dream.
 
And soon, I began to learn, and re-discover the beauty of a dream.
 
When you first started dreaming, initially that is all there is to it. 
 
Just strings of images that runs in you mind.
 
And then, you so believe in the images that you no longer just want to 'see' the images in your mind but you want to feel it, and 'be part of'  or 'living' the dream.
 
That's when you decide you have got to start to make concrete little plans.
 
Little plans became little steps.
 
Little steps formed actions which set the creaky wheels in motions.
 
Little motions brings forth new reaction. Stuff you are not familair with, and even scared you; not a little, but a lot!
 
But you want the dream more than you are scared of it.
 
In pursuing this dream, I learnt more about trusting God in His timing. I learnt there is no use in rushing Him. After all, we are reminded constantly 'Not to worry'.
 
No easy feat. But do-able.
 
It helps too when we have a grateful heart. Yes, it is impossible to worry and be grateful at the same time. So, choose our battle wisely. I can choose to spend time worrying, or spend the same being grateful.  
 
My dream is within my grasp, but I am not quite there yet. But I will be there soon.
 
Stay on for the ride with me? :)

      TQ for being there, since the days when this dream was "Just strings of images that runs in [my] mind.." :)
