As the calendar year draws to a close, many bloggers are posting reflective pieces. Some people focus on achievements won or lessons learned. Others resolve to be better, stronger, more effective or more famous (because, let's face it, no one is altruistic all the time).
These past 12 months have been interesting ones for me, with some unexpected disappointments that were more than offset by surprising bonuses. There's no need to be more specific: I know I am blessed in family, friends, and the freedom to choose my own path.
Two songs drifted through my mind today, each appropriate in its own way for this pensive time of year.
Make of them what you will - they are an early Christmas gift from me to you.
John Lennon - Happy Christmas (War is Over)
"So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun"
Alanis Morissette - You Learn
"You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn"
