Turning 31 with joy!!!

Writing is therapeutic for me. And at this point of time, I’m in the mood for writing.

Yes, I am turning 31 years old!! That is incredible. I am grateful for my life, the family I was born in, the people who loved me and the people I loved, I am grateful for most of my life experiences. The uncertainty of life has it’s positive side and I kind of like it most of that time too. I mean I don’t know which airline am I going to work for and when am I going to get a job after I graduate. I don’t know if I will stay single my whole life, if not when will I get married and to whom, and will I have children, which part of the world will I be living in? A part of me like to be able to know the future, a part of me likes the suspense of not knowing what God has in store for me in the future.

So much for uncertainties, is there anything in life that I can be certain of, like solid rock certainty? Yes, I can be certain that there is a God. He is the same millennium ago and will be the same millennium later. He will be faithful at all times, regardless if I am faithful or not. I can be certain that ALL things will pass away, even the things I treasure so dearly like my family and my best friends, the place I love like the Himalayas mountain, my favourite food.

What is a resolution? And why do we need to make them? And why at this time of the year? I believe in making changes, being better, wiser, more loving and etc. And so my argument is that you can make decision to change or to make resolution (which ever you like to call it) whenever the need or situation arises. It doesn’t have to be the beginning of the year.

What is important to me? I need to know that am I a good son to my parents, a good brother to my sisters, a good uncle to my niece and nephew (Now there’s 4 of them), a good friend to my friends, and above all else, a son pleasing in the eyes of God.

Having said that, there is so much I can do this year, I shall not list them here.

What do I look forward to in 2010? Certainly, I dream of graduating!!!
