Yay?! You say?
Well, that’s what I thought too.
On the first day of the new year, I woke up, just glad that it’s a holiday and that I did not have to drag myself to work. I also made a mental note to remember to write the correct year on cheques from that day onwards.
On the second day, Friday – what a day to go back to work and school (for the kids) – I dragged myself out of bed and wished I didn’t have to. It was just another day, for me, at least.
I suppose that’s how most people feel – just another day, and what with all the doom and gloom awaiting us in 2009, there is just nothing to be excited about, is there?
But Little Guy changed all that – he woke up all cheery and chirpy as usual. He did not have to drag himself out of bed. He did not complain about having to start school at the end of the week. He was just a bundle of energy and happy vibes.
When he got to school, he rushed in and yelled,
‘Yay! I’m in K1, I’m in K1!’ (‘K1′ being short for the first year of Kindergarten)
Big Guy and I were shocked at his excitement. But it really brought the smiles all around. We had no idea that being in K1 meant so much to him. We had just reminded him a few days before the end of the year, that when he returned to school, he will be in K1.
I figured that I could learn much from Little Guy – his enthusiasm, his positiveness and his excitement for what is to come. I should stop moping and start ‘yay-ing’ more
So…
Yay! I’m in 2009! The gloom will clear, it HAS to clear!
Meanwhile, enjoy, continue to work at whatever you are working at, or working for. If the big picture is grey and gloomy, to heck with it! We’ll have our gigs in our small pictures! (Put all the small pictures together and what do we get?)
C’mon, let’s yay!
Happy 2009 everyone!
