It's been such a long time since I completed a crossword puzzle. A variety of factors were at play. Lack of time, lack of interest, too much work...... the list is quite tiring. But, today I awoke with a resolution - I would finish the crossword puzzle today. Will power does wonders. Although the crossword set me behind schedule, it gave me a sense of satisfaction. That's something that doesn't come often. The happiness that one feels when a project is completed, is something indescribable. So, I have decided something. A new( long overdue) New Year's resolution.
From now on, each morning i will set aside a few minutes for my crossword puzzles. That's something that each of us must do. Not just with crosswords, but, with everything. Spend time with our family, talk to them. Read the paper. Take in the beauty of nature. Write a few verses. Hum your favourite song. Just do little things, those that make you feel happy and rested. Things that make you feel content.
Live life like there is no tomorrow. Enjoy each moment for what it is. After all, a year of sorrow can very well be replaced by a minute of happiness. Start with the small and the simple. You don't have to climb the highest mountain, or swim the deepest ocean (unless of course, you want to). But, whatever it is that you decide to do, remember to give it your all. You never know when you might get the chance to do it again.
AGNI.
