Back at the beginning of the year, bloggers were choosing their keywords for the year.
Hope, courage, and progress were just a few of the most popular themes. I was too busy wondering what my year would be like considering what the old year had graced us with.
March has just ended, and a strange word has entered my head. A word I have never liked, for it sums up most of the worst times of my life. This word has probably taken up residence because I reach my 8oth birthday soon, a birthday I have often wondered if I would reach. So, the word ‘nearly’ has been at the back of my mind for a while. Whether this has influenced the rest of my life, or just a coincidence that so many other aspects of my life are hovering at ‘nearly’ too?
I have so many projects that are nearly finished, so many ideas that haven’t reached the conclusion. When I was a child, I loved that story of the little train who thought he could. The one who tried so hard while chanting, “I think I can.”
This little train has pulled me through some awkward and difficult situations, but there is no sign of him these days.
I hope that when I reach that milestone (millstone) birthday, ‘nearly’ will fade away completely…
Will ‘I think I can’ turn into ‘I know I can’ again?
Quotation…
“Sometimes, when things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place…”
