2010: on hindsight

if life indeed is a school of hard knocks,
i have been a fairly diligent student in 2010,
taking more modules than is required for the year.

tough lessons they were,
but maybe these were mandatory lessons that we all must go through someday,
so better now than later.

sometimes, i just have to give credit to the trials and tribulations,
for they do make me stronger and more resilient (i know i sound masochistic),
and sift the 'good and must keep's in my life from the 'bad and must throw away's.

BUT I CAN DO WITH LESS OF SUCH TESTS PLEASE!

2011 is a blank slate.
Expect nothing. Live frugally
on surprise.
