tis the season to be jolly

2010 is coming to an end. i always love Christmas for the warmth it brings, the friendly season of love and friendship. yet Christmas acts like a celebration to close the year, a reminder that the year is about to end. it's always good to have a happy closure i guess.. but what happens to unresolved issues before the year closes? do we attempt to dampen the the jolly mood to thrash things out, or do we drag it into the new year, only to dig up new excuses saying 'the time isn't ripe?' well, it does take two hands to clap. forgive and forget?

i'm grateful for memories good and bad, lessons painful and sweet. i'm thankful for all the footprints left in my life, the imprints marked on my heart. life is a bittersweet irony, but when we savour whatever sweetness remains, that's when we realize that the cup is really half full and not empty. the cup is always filled anyway, does it matter whether it's full or not?

everything needs a closure, some point, some time. so does the chocolatecoatedlab. all good things must come to an end and all life will one day cease as well. goodbye is never an easy thing to deal with, it's not wrong to grieve but i believe it's wrong not to let go. as much as we desire to cling onto our worldly hopes, standards and achievements, all these will one day not mean a thing. not even a memory for the future. so why hang on? let go, let God. nonetheless, easier said than done. but i'll still embrace Christmas for what it's worth, especially if it could be the last christmas for chocolatecoatedlab. Adiós!

so much for being jolly huh?
