It's closer than you think...
I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by ornaments of red and green while window shopping at Plaza Sing this afternoon. The fresh shelves of reindeers, mistletoes and sleigh bells were a pleasing sight and I, in turn, greeted them with a stomach stirring with nostalgic excitement. For one, I couldn't believe that Christmas is barely two months away. I looked at Hil, hoping for his shared sentiments, only to get this - "What do you expect? It's already mid Oct ya know..."
Hellooooooooooo grinch.
Anyway, I was so delighted and uplifted by the pretty sight that my heart literally released my boxed-up Christmas spirit. A time of celebration and merry-making and giving. A time where the world seems to slow down and the air of love is all around. Aahhh...I can't wait.
There is one outstanding personal issue which I need to settle though. And I know it needs to be done fast. It is my duty and my onus to see that I clear up this mess which has been bugging me for weeks. It almost feels silly and childish but at the same time, I can't seem to control myself and feel anything less than sheer annoyance and resentment.
In a way, I'm glad that Christmas has come early for me this year. I feel more determined than ever, to make this right and I hope I have the courage and patience to see it through.
