With the new year's arrival, millions of little memories, insignificant and bright ones, colored and dimmed ones, do fly round my head. Suddenly, it is like all the 27 years or what I really recall from them pass me by as quick flashes. Moments of great joy and others of prolonged dramatic nights. Recollections of long ago friends and classmates and recent acquaintences.
The importance of such an event. in my belief, is not the counting of the days nor the declaration of one's progress in age. It is like a sign to stop at and think, then rethink, to act and react, to weigh and value what has passed and be sure and conscious of what is to come. If we stopped with ourselves for a while, we would gain a lot for more days to come.
