Another Season in the Sun

 

.... Another season in the sun, another chance to begin again. Another time to make a difference, another time to bring hope – again. Another reason to live. Another time of gain, another time of pain, another time of grace and gratitude. What you are about to begin - you have begun. Consider what you can create with time, talent and treasure; none of these you will take away, nor will they come to you again. Be wise for all that remains of these is memories of the same.

The journey round the sun is guaranteed, but our time here is decreed. So make time for all there is to do in life; to work, to laugh, to be and be quiet, to play, to pray and sometimes to cry. If you know love; cherish it, share it; sacrifice. Hate is an open gate; walk past it, away from it. Seek peace with all your heart. Some things you must leave behind and some things you have to know anew. But in some things you must have the courage to begin on a new journey around the sun. It is not a new sun; but a new you. There are things you need to forgive, but others you must forget. Don't get stuck, though you may fear, never fail to start again. It is the only thing that life offers; another chance, another day, one more sun. History is past, but you are here, yet to be; become! Write your story.

What is the purpose?.. Perhaps the question is really, what is your purpose? Think of the blessing you must be, and how this is a gift of the Divine.  Don’t, your time waste; but know that, there are some who must fulfill this curse. And when all is said and done; hope again, be again and live again. It is all you have got to go on another trip around the sun.

Happy New Year, another season in the sun.
