Twenty 10

Several jingles and countless turkeys later, the joyful time of the year, once again, has come to an end.

An end that always hails new beginnings. A new year, a new decade, a new set of decisions and resolutions, some new friends made over the oh-so-many holiday drunken daze evenings, and of course- the happily hidden new (unwanted) pounds.

What am I going to do this year? I honestly have no idea. I would love to promise, and like to plan, but I have learnt in my -ahem- mere 20 years (because that is my age of course) that plans fail, and ships sail, and seasons come, and spontaneous is fun. In other words, I am chicken and I rather not take vows that I have no conviction of keeping. What is all the hype about it anyway.

So this year shall be dedicated to impulse. A year of unrehearsed, spur-of-the moment and extempore activities. Well....after I have made sure they go as planned, are agreeable to my liking, promise to be fun, follow a method, are documented on paper and are risk-free. Let's not get beyond ourselves - this would be my first year of being impulsive after all, and we don't want any accidents!

Alright-so I don't want to measure my year, and I am absolutely hopeless at being spontaneous! I reckon I will let Time take the reins and guide me through. It may turn out to be just another one - with hearts in chains, and unfinished games, or discoveries great, and circling new calendar dates. Or it may be remarkable...

Who knows? I try not to predict, but I very much welcome the new string of surprises.
