Hop On Board

The year's changes and milestones aren't few. From the completion of my postgraduate degrees, marking another tick on personal goals achieved (and yes, the culmination of a 2.5 year study that is long enough I would say)... to receiving my residency status, largely determining where I will veer the next stage of my life to and a basis of many major decisions that I have made and yet to make... and now the start of a new career, which in most cases has always an initial mix of excitement and anxiety.

I'd like to think that the choices I have made over the past few years are good ones, and ones that would ultimately lead me to a better position - in my career, relationships, and life in general. The paths that I have chosen to take were not always the easiest ones, but I guess the humps and bumps are part of the adventure in the journey. Sometimes one rejoices, sometimes one laments, but in all times one has to face questions in need of answering. I remember one of the major troughs I've put myself in a couple of months ago was dwelling in agony and indecision over staying here or going back. To others, it seems that it would be a complete waste if I let the opportunity pass... but to me I have gained what I came here to gain already and that's a wealth of experiences, friendships, realisation, broadening of horizons... and if I decided to leave all these behind there would be no loss at all. Where I would be going next (or back), surely would be packed with as much colour. Anyway, I stayed - for more reasons than I care to reveal... ha ha! So far, there are no regrets, only a fervent hope of continuous blessings and happiness, courage to face all that needs facing, and the ability and grace to conquer mountains.

Today I've hopped on board a new group. Things are looking very promising. I would say that fate has been quite good to me. It's up to me now to drive myself to a better and better plane. For the moment, a steady flow would be great although further changes and new milestones are not unwelcome either.
