First things first, happy Worker's Day everyone. Hope you all had a restful day and enjoyed the day off. I just found out the origin of Worker's Day, very hectic actually. You should go have a read if you don't already know the story here ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Workers'_DayToday also marked one year since a very heart breaking event in my life. Sometimes life can be pretty unfair, but after a while you realise there was a reason life did that. And you learn from it. You learn things about yourself, about others, and sometimes it even makes you begin to learn the meaning of being humbled. At the time, I was sad, angry at myself, angry at them, and completely despondent.
Today, one year later, I climbed a mountain, but it was much more than that for me. It was climbing out of my slump, out of my silly routine and up to a new place. As I stood on the top of Lion's Head today, a massive rush of relief came over me. As unfit as I was, I made it and in more ways than one. I was so proud of myself. At the top, a feeling of happiness went through me, not only for what I have learnt and how far I have come since then, but also for them. I stood there, without a breath of air on my face, the sun kissing my cheeks and i wished them love and light. As cliche as it is, every single person comes into your life for a reason. I truly believe that with all my heart and even though you don't understand why someone leaves your life, they always leave you with something you never had before, be it love, knowledge, happiness or even a lesson. Take what you learnt from that person, be grateful for the time you had, and wish them love and light as well as for yourself.
And then climb a mountain!
