Will meet again!

 

Goodbyes are difficult. Goodbyes are despairing. Goodbyes are sometimes contemptuous too. But some goodbyes are inevitable, obligatory. 

Talking about deaths makes us uncomfortable. But mandatory events as these cannot be disregarded. Bidding goodbye to loved ones is the most difficult. But somethings you ought to do there's no option. 

Likeso, every year we bid goodbye to the past year and welcome the coming one. We recapitulate the recently spent 12 months/365 days of our life as to what did we achieve? What difference did we make? 

There's a flashback of the whole year in front of your eyes. All the ups and downs are limpid and you weigh everything done, your victories and debacles.

Achievements may not essentially be winning prizes or awards, but may mean winning hearts or people. Or just overcoming your fear, or maybe running that extra mile or withal, advertence to self. 

 Even if you've made a tiny bit difference, you've contributed a diminutive share to make your loved one's happier, it is remarkable for you. Whether you've brought a smile on a dull face or cooked the favourite food for someone feeling low or just patted the back to make them feel they ain't alone. 

I guess all of this adds up to your kitty, the treasure of your life. Earning thousands of bucks is no doubt creditable and it takes a lot of hard work for that. But keeping aside materialistic accomplishments, if you've made even a soul joyous then that's enough for you to sense the satisfaction in the retrospect. 

Am I happy how I hustled and how I performed? Is the only question that's needed to be asked to yourself. And to be answered honestly by you.

Now you are bidding goodbye with a grin, to the past time and with same enthusiasm eagerly waiting to greet the forthcoming. 

December makes you nostalgic, doesn't it?
