The New Year, I have already put many things in place I am coming back and forth to this and it's something when you look at how ten years of the 21st century has gone by. It did go rather fast and so much happened during this time. We are the ones that have lived during a very unique time within history. And then again here is the start a step soon to come that is another decade. How things have changed with respect to so many things.
Remember the beginning of the year 2000? It seems like it was just yesterday. There are so many things that happened over these last ten years. I really have not begun to think about it till this evening. It really blows me away as I just am starting to think about all the things of the last decade. I am not sure about you but I do feel that these now are the times. And yet there is that tad of old school within me where I enjoy the ordinary things yet where we have come to is really something that is amazing think about the technology that we now have in comparison to 1999.
Where will we go from here as this is the beginning of a new decade and I ponder on where it will all go? I know personally where I have gone during this decade. That's gone yet here comes another new year of the first of a new decade. Where are we going? Or maybe it's just another day. One could really look at things in review an entire decade and literally things have moved so fast within ten years I ponder on what the next ten will bring.
We all have our own personal agendas as far as what we have at hand and where what we wish to do within the New Year as we all do celebrate the coming of a new year yet to regard the last ten years would be a rather lengthy write. Just think about all that has come about within ten years. Have we gained from it? I hope so. Will we move in a different direction in the next ten years? Or is it just the same old. I am not sure where we are headed.
Hmmm just thinking...
You made me remember filling the tub with water and getting cash and gas to have on hand when the world was supposed to crash turning over to 2000. It seems so recent. Neither of my boys were married and I didn't have any grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteI had moved back from NY to Canada oh how many thing and we didnt have blogs, cells, the wars but we did gain something.
ReplyDeletei don't look so far yet i plan. like looking at the past as if in a framed photo and how i grown so fast, 20 years or more than my real age, i became so mature ... i now see life as a very valuable thing that in split seconds we could be gone and all that good things we have, life is precious and so are friends. My only wish for all of us here in the coming years to come is that ... may we be blessed in all our undertakings ... good health for all of us here :)
ReplyDeleteLikewise here I grew older yet personally I learned much. Yet it just occurred to me as a decade has past rather amazing when you look at all that has taken place. And now we enter into a new era within this place we call our "mother earth".
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeleteThis decade certainly did go by quickly, I just hope the next decade will pass slower. I don't know what the future holds but I do know I'll do what I've always done, take each day as it comes. With that I will say good night :]
ReplyDeleteNot sure what the next decade will hold. Sometimes it seems as though I was just holding my own babies and mow I'm holding grand children and watching them goes. Days are quieter and challenges are different . I have an ordinary life but I love it and I am seeing s many changes in my country and in the world. Some are good and some not. Seems there are some things advancing yet other things we are losing but I suppose we all need to look inside of ourselves as well and see if there are changes that need to come. I know there are things that I need to grow in and have more concern about ..and sometimes I think I just need to lighten up and laugh more as well . Blessings and peace in 2010
ReplyDeletejust remembering thinking back when I was younger and thought about the future and when we got into the years of the 21st century.....like who will I be and what will life be like then? and here I am......and thinking how long do I have? looking forward to greater advances happening in this world and maybe one day peace?? it would be nice for all nations to be friendly neighbors to one another. to share our resources and to not be greedy with them. for everyone to have a decent standard of living and available healthcare.
ReplyDeleteThe older we get, the faster time flies. When we are the busiest working raising family It seems to drag. But now it zooms by.
ReplyDelete,lovely song "pools of sorrow ..Waves of Joy"..your video..below .ty Jack..I know that you will have a better New Year..:)
ReplyDeleteNot sure but I know that it's down to -30 today! And by suppertime it's going to be nearly minus 40! I know what today brought - very cold temperatures and now just warming up. Gosh it can get cold as I went for a morning run and I took my camera in my pocket but there is no way one can take pictures or much of anything in this climate. I went to meet one friend that works within a tanning place here as it's within this strip center as I had to warm up and the feeling is that it's been a very fast ten years and as well for the eve of this day it's one that literally is much too cold as in two days it's back up to a much warmer climate. Perhaps mother earth is telling me something :).
ReplyDeleteNo taxi's tonight! Tomorrow I will head to seem my folks and right now as it stand I am not pondering out tonight!
Within this month I have my things that have come about but I have decided to take it as an enjoyable afternoon and eve. Time for some good movies perhaps. Good health, value, challenges, there are all things but maybe just maybe this is like any other day - in a good way but a cold one :).
ReplyDeleteI don't know all that is within the future all that I know is that the last year has been one of more things that have taken place than I ever dreamed off. Pehaps it's just another day. I thought my brother would be coming in by plane or by car. He usually will drive it but we have a very cold front here so it's time to just relax and enjoy as many are staying in tonight. I remember back when I was younger gosh nothing would stop us but we never thought too much about anything. We never knew what would take place within the last decade and probably the new one is much like the weather as you can never definately forecast it but I do hope and I do endeavour toward some of my own private goals and I think that it where this is good. So up here in comparision to over there within the area that I loved much. But well I am rambling :)
ReplyDeleteHealth does mean much to everyone I think that would be the main priority as if you don't have your health - and that is one area that we all do wish for I could write on situations as that is one that has rendered a strong portion of this last decade for me and cancer within my family but I am starting to look at things from different angles now. The last two days I have been on the go and to just relax and unwind after it all is a comfort. My cousin from out of town that has these Clyesdales had a car accident in driving here with his wife. The left the horse here at the vet medicine center at the university and had the car fixed as they wanted to get back to a town called Yorkton before later tonight. I have never thought of how much longer I have within life, it has never really ever occurred to me. Remember that old song of Doris Day's - "whatever will be will be, the futures not ours to see". :)
ReplyDeleteIt does Tess!
ReplyDeleteI thought last night as it really just came to mind with this New Year and the decade and really I just rambled off thoughts and then I thought that the utube fit. It will, if I think it won't it wont. I am not Tony Robbins, I have those areas that one has a mix of thought but there have been three times I have went through this blog of last year and I find that I am far happier now than I was for a prominent time of this year. Yet that's not to say that life in the new year will not have challenges but when you face things head on you come to find that there is a better resolve with them. I guess that would be on the personal side Caroline. And if I may mention I have met more professionals that are cab drivers from India, Pakistan and it's ironic how over these last few days they have been tremendous and often will turn off the time, and we will have a talk for a while. That does say something if I may add that as regardless of where we are from it's all within the people we meet within our own sphere. This is the afternoon before and 2010 shall be a better year. You can't completely predict it, but you certainly can plan accordingly. As far as resolutions, I don't have any but one is that I am back in my retraining, my knees tended too in January and I literally have come to hate hospitals right now. But then there is the thereafter in Feburary. Is 2010 in our steps? I would think so yet we all have our own was that we envision and carry it all out.
