Some Reflection on the New Year

Every day at work, I put on my headphones and turn on my IPod to different radio stations in order to block out the background noise in the office. The most-listened-to songs would replay itself through out the days and in fact the song Wildest Dream by Taylor Swift was played four times this morning and I was expecting more of it later in the day. Today one of the radio anchors commented how she could not believe it is October and that the holiday is coming up and it hit me that the year 2015 is coming to an end in two months. That means the shopping season, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year Eve are coming up.

I can still remember when Y2K was the big talk of the town as everyone was talking about it as if the end of the world was imminent and there was talk of Jesus was coming back. Fifteen years later, none of that happens yet.  This got me thinking how we don't know what will happen in the future. We don't know if any tragedy is heading our way or if a big blessing is coming to us.  We don't know if a big earthquake will hit us tomorrow or in a few years. None of the fact will ever be available to us and all we have is today, this very moment.  That said, we have to make the most of the time we have because we do not know if we will ever have another day on this earth.  So we have to do our best and make good use of the time we have, because every second counts and every second is an opportunity to make a difference.
