The only post for this year

It's been one of those years which go by too fast and have really nothing much to show for it. It's been one of those years where I know I've been really busy every day, had too much work to do, and too little time to do it, squeezed in family and friends, and relied too much on my outlook calendar. Weekends came by so fast, and the things I put off to accomplish on the weekend never got done. The calls I was to make never got made. The writing I was to do remains unwritten. But the garden grew, despite my neglect. And that's what makes me think it's been a year that is going to make next year much more fruitful. The unscheduled rainfall watered the plants and the sun made them flower. All without me. I'm dispensible and it's a liberating thought. My company will run without me, the plants will grow, and life will go on. So...next year will give me an opportunity to realise exactly where I'm really indispensible, and where I'm not. And slow down time a little by focussing on what's really important to me. And hopefully the rest will follow.
