What a wondrous time of the year!

It would be Christmas for others to exclaim it. It's a wondrous time of year. But I say, you don’t need to wait for Christmas, every day is a wondrous day.

We're alive. We should be thankful. Today is a chance to redeem ourselves from yesterday's mistakes. Today is a chance to show ourselves that we can go on despite the trials and tribulations of life. Today is a different day, a better one we hope for.

My lighter days with my cycle is allowing me to say all these. But once in a while let us allow ourselves to be poured such delightful wonderful thoughts. When we go on our day, it pays to be positive. Good vibes to share to the ones around us. And it will be contagious. Don’t let yourself be labeled as melancholy. Sometimes, yes, sometimes, no.

I used to be a cynic person. Always the worrier, the super thrifty one (but would spend all money at the spur of the moment, a waste of the super thriftiness), the blamer, the pessimist, the critic, the always scolding person, the masochist, the narcissist…

But over the years of trudging the path, I realized there is more to life than the endless cynicism. You’ve got to be pleasant sometimes. We’re social beings, it would be indifference to lock oneself to herself/himself. We have to learn the trade of humaneness, and perhaps, we accept to ourselves that no man is an island. It’s pride to not take this into account.

Instead of sulking over a silly or bad remark thrown at us, let us just dodge the blade and not be hurt and just do our best. There are many techniques to dodge the hurtful things. We should first accept ourselves. Accept our limitations. We need to be gentle with ourselves. We have to take things one at a time.

When we finally accept ourselves and know our Simon’s and Peter’s then we may be able to discern what will be best for us. Don’t be beaten by wolves, by snakes, by vultures.

Everyday should be a wondrous day. We make it. We work hard for it. By being positive. Hoping for the best. For everyone, friend and foe alike. Peace reign in our midst. We desire it.
