New Year Contemplation
At some point over the turn of the year I think everyone will do a bit of contemplation - about what has been, what has happened - and also consider what is to come. Like last week, my contemplative choice has moved a day later in the week.
...
Perhaps some might find this a bit "cheesy" - however this is from a Christmas LP that I played many times - I've already shared one song from it and here is another - actually it is two songs - the first one is simply spoken not sung. Its a song that is very simple - and is a bit of an ear worm - hopefully it will get stuck in your head in a good way!!
For us all our thinking will go back not just over the rather weird year that has just finished, but also to things from longer ago - happy memories, sad times, great achievements and things we perhaps missed out on for one reason or another. Those thoughts will bring us all sorts of emotions. We also know that our memories are both selective and often inaccurate - we also see things in a different light with the benefit of hindsight.
The song is entitled "Its in every one of us" and goes on to say "to be wise" - so as we look forward we should do so as wisely as we can - recognise that in the end it is up to each of us - personally - to be the best that we can be - to do the most good that we can do.
