Like a wildebeest migration each year,
Time again has come.
Somehow this year's crossing felt
different, so she stopped at the edge of the Life river,
nostalgic of leaving behind what she
knew, fearful of the unknown ahead.
How funny she once thought this time
would never arrive or was millions of nights away! Where did the day go? She
stood still, powerless at the echo of all the things she had yet to do.
That's when it struck her.
The encouraging signs of those
surrounding her, the lovely memories of her experiences and reminders of the
things she had accomplished eventually reached her consciousness.
She felt a warm hug enveloping her and a
beautiful creature was standing beside her, reaching for her hand.
And so she jumped! the sound of a sweet
voice caressing her ear.
Enlightened once she reached the other
side, she turned back. How amusing it now felt to have almost
shed a tear! When there was so much to be thankful
for and so much to look forward to.
She recounted her blessings and felt
grateful to be alive and well.
She finally made a mental note to thank
everyone who had accompanied her thus far:
To my parents who gave me the gift of
Life,
To my mother whose experience taught me
determination, resilience and strength
To that boss and colleagues who
inspire(d) and teach me on the daily
To my family and friends whose
achievements, words and actions encourage me constantly
To the special creature by my side, part
human, wholly superhero, who share my heart, uplift my soul and make our
reality a fearless dream
To all of the people, past, present and
future who help shape the woman I am destined to be
To all of you who continuously help turn
the Long Life river into an ocean of sweetness.
It was about time I give a "face" to those "voices" inside my head: Wall street Chic meets City Geek... Always on the move and mood changing, you can call me tripolar: Fun, Fab, Fierce... Love, Ss
