X'mas... New Year

X'mas has come and gone. The memories remained. Bittersweet. Smile and frown at the same time. 

I'm glad for the chances given. I'm happy for the lessons learned. I'm looking forward for the fresh start. I'm wishing for the complications to go away. The one given and the one taken.

New year is around the corner, will it be as eventful as X'mas? I hope not, but at the same time, I hope it will. Wishful thinking on my part. 

The beauty of it is : no matter what happens, I did what I wanted to do. For me. Twice with the ocean and the path became clear. I only have myself to answer for. The others are just either the icing or the poison.

Maybe I need to return to the ocean one more time. Maybe I will.
