Living For Today

Chaahe jo tumhe poore dil se
Milta hai who mushkil se
Aisa jo koi kahin hai
Bas wohi sabse haseen hai
Us haath ko tum thaam lo
Woh meherbaan kal ho na ho

Translation:
Someone who loves you with all his heart
Is very hard to find
But whoever and wherever he is
He is simply the most beautiful
Take his hand in yours today
Because he may not be around tomorrow

2010

2010: The beginning of another new year, a fresh start, a new beginning. With another lost dream, a defeated mission, many hopeless nights, new sorrows, broken hearts comes the promise of another dream, more hope, lots of love, and a new beginning. I'm a little late, but unsure of when it is officially weird to wish someone a happy new year, here's to 2010, may it be all that 2009 wasn't and all that we wanted 2009 to be.

The beginning of a new year allows us to step into a new year with a fresh start, a clean slate. As we step into the new year, we make ourselves many promises, look up into the sky and see another dream, stare at the stars and remember all those dreams that are yet to be fulfilled, and hope with all our heart that all these dreams will finally come true, that the stars will descend onto the earth and turn into reality.

Although the new year brings us so much hope, and we welcome it with open arms, deep down each of us knows that at the end of the year, we will find more unfilled dreams, more disappointments, and perhaps a greater sorrow. But to know that with all that uncertainty, comes that small speck of hope that perhaps this year may be the one, perhaps a small dream will come true, and maybe a new happiness will come into our life, we can't help but smile.

Personally, 2010 is a very significant year in my life. Things will happen, perhaps life will take a new turn, maybe even one I can't imagine. Many questions will be answered, many new questions will form, either dreams will come true or they will die, but either way, those dreams will not be left hanging. And that's okay, because, as much as we would like it to be, not all we want is meant to be. With that we can only hope that what is meant to be, we will embrace with open arms, and learn to thank God for the life that he has bestowed upon us.

That said, with God's blessings, let us step into 2010 and live each day as though its the last.
