It’s a new year.  I’ve been scrambling around spring-cleaning my house from top to bottom. Throwing out everything of the past and getting ready to welcome the present. I prayed to the ancestors and welcomed them home to celebrate Lunar New Year with us. I have a strong feeling it will be a delightful year. I know I’m quite superstitious, but I truly believe if you make your home a welcoming place during the Lunar New year for the ancestors, family, and friends that we’ve lost along the way to come join us in the celebration, then it will most definitely pay off throughout the year. I can’t concur that something miraculous will appear on the front doorstep as you get up tomorrow morning or any day. However, I will say they’ve been the greatest guardian angels in my life. Yes, you can catch me in a rant or complain about the petty stuff in life. Yet, at the end of the day…my troubles are nothing compared to others out there. I’m very fortunate and blessed.

If there’s anything I’ve learned last year, it is to let by gone be by gone. I don’t need to consume myself with unhealthy thoughts and waste my time on people who shouldn’t be of any importance to my life. Whether it’s a family or friend who turned into a foe, I’m not going to let your misery get the best out of me. Misery loves company and I’m sure not in that state of mind. I’ve realized people love to create drama just to be the center of attention. What’s the point? God forbids something bad happens (knock on wood) and then all of sudden you want to come running back around. Do you think you’ll be welcomed then? Listen, you have 365 days in a year to say hi and small talk. Don’t wait for something drastically bad to occur just to come around and “be there” for a person. I never understood those individuals who hides from his/her family and friends and appears to be around only when an eye awakening moment came crashing right down in his/her life before they’ll make their move. Lets not pretend that it wasn’t what it supposed to be or make up a petty excuse. Every day that passes us by, is a day for you to make that necessary changes to do right in your life. If you want to live with that amount of regret, then go right on ahead. However, I would advise that you step over that pride of yours, bury it alive and learn to make with what’s in front of you. I understand that there are people out there you just can’t understand or be around. That’s understandable. Yet, don’t let that glitch fill something in your heart. Just agree that it’s something in your life that can’t be mend and let it go. Don’t dare put a thought into it. It’s not worth your time to visit and reevaluate. Move along with gravity. Some forces just can’t be combined.  The world would be a much better place if we would just learn how to enjoy our own life and stop comparing it to others. Stop caring of how someone alters his/her body parts or does something you don’t agree with. You can only advise him/her but in the end it is not your life to get worked up about. Just be happy for the other person. Yes, you can be blunt all you want, but it’s not your life to worry over and bed to be made. Make your own bed, worry for what’s in front of you.

Lets be real, we all aren’t going to life our best life everyday. However, we can start trying. It’s like anything in life…it’s a lifestyle that takes time to adapt and adjust to. My hurdles are just as difficult to get over. I just learned along the way not to ever turn an anthill into a molehill and those who love doing so needs to be avoided at all cause. =)

First blog, I had to get this out of the way before Head gets mad at me of not filling up this empty space. This writing urge wanted to come out for the longest. However, I’ve been backing down and away from it. I hope this is the start of something that will continue on.

I bid you all a Happy Lunar New year. Until then…
