A Sign
That is why it is important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don't expect to get anything back, don't expect recognition for your efforts, don't expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits into your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.

I read this excerpt a few times over. It was calling to me. Waiting to be discovered in the 214th page. It's a sign. I asked for one and I got it. I believe in signs. I feel it is an indicator from The One above. The works of the Mighty One. Signs are there if you want to read them for if you didn't want to, you wouldn't and couldn't even if it was staring straight at your face for a year.
It's back to work after a blissful stress free week of sleeping late and waking up to brunch. Am sure many will feel the withdrawal symptoms of the holiday and will be running on slow-mo tomorrow. We are approaching the closing of the year with just 8 more weeks to go and 2005 will be the past. Filled with memories; good or bad, happy and sad. A year that came by and went just like that, seemingly with a snap of a finger.
Sigh, sometimes a girl has got to do what a girl has got to do and likewise the time is drawing near as the days unfold.

Paulo Coelhol is one of my favourite authors. I can see where you coming from. Time flies without us knowing it. But, I'm glad that you'd finally able to discover or choose to read at the sign that has been there for you.
For all you know there might be surprises for you, even though very little surprises us anymore. Hope, and lack of hope; love and fear of losing out to love. You walk as if you're on a tightrope surrounded on either side by empty space. Although you may feel as though you are on a roller coaster, relax; the ride is meant for your enjoyment - it will all be fine.
As the saying goes...
Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished.
Thanks for the comment. Gave me a pleasant feeling :).
Similarly as the Smashing Pumpkins sang, 'The End is the Beginning is the End'.
I hope love surprises will come your way. Sometimes the world works its little miracles on us earthly creatures unexpectedly when we least hope for it.
Cheers babe(:D
