Revisiting the year 2020
Hello Everyone,
Hope you
all are doing well. You may be engaged in the process of bidding adieu to the
year which is going to slip out of our hands in the next 3-4 hours. It has been a customary practice
for me to reflect on all the moments which I lived in the year and express my
gratitude to it before it fades away. So, through this post, I feel so excited
to walk down my memory lane.
This year
made me believe in the power of the Law of attraction and manifestation of
intentions. The first month of the year promised me to establish a lifetime
relationship with someone I had come across then. There was a family reunion to
celebrate our engagement. Then followed Valentine’s week which had always
been an ordinary week for me except this time, it had a meaning. There was a
joyous phase of preparation for the D-day of my life. I trusted my intuition to
invite someone I had come across a few months ago, in my life. I let myself go
with the flow of the process that the Universe had designed for me and finally the
D-day arrived for us to depart from the home I had been a part of and to take
responsibilities of the family I was very warmly accepted as.
Then it was
the conspiracy of Universe to let me quarantine with my partner to know him better.
I learned to cook and be more responsible for dispatching my duties of
day-to-day life. The phase of lockdown was never easy but it had definitely
provided me enough time to be with my permanent roommate. During this phase, I
tried to create beautiful memories to cherish for the rest of my life. The phase
of lockdown had definitely slowed down this fast-paced life and enabled all of
us including the nature to bloom in our own way, away from the unknown rat-race
we had been into. I started following the activities that provided me internal happiness.
It included singing, painting, writing, reading, learning different programming
languages, revisiting my bucket list and striking off a few points from that, and
developing some healthy habits. I completed watching all movies from my movie
list which had been pending since time immemorial. I participated in some of
the virtual competitions and garnered appreciation for my performance. I was successful in getting an international
test score.
I realized how
important it is to live in the present moment as the future is uncertain and it
is promised to none. The importance of health cannot be ignored; I realized it until
I fell sick twice and the fear of getting infected COVID started haunting me. The
reunion with family after a long period was literally emotional. I am so
grateful to God for letting me meet one of my dear friends.
The most important thing to feel grateful for during pandemic days is that I am healthy and
safe and so are my family and friends. I wish that this trying and challenging the phase will pass off soon when we all will be getting back to the normal state
of life when we will be able to breathe in fresh air devoid of this deadly
virus.
No doubt,
this New Year’s Eve is different from all other years and all of us are locked
up in our rooms, practicing social isolation, many of us are away from our
family and friends but amidst all difficulties, let us hope for a bright future
which is about to embrace our lives.
So, wishing
you all a very happy new year! May this year 2021, fill your life with
abundance in all spheres.
