December dreams

If anybody asks me this question ” What’s your favourite month of the year? and Why?” my answer is very prompt. Without any doubt it’s December. Now what’s special about December? What are December dreams made of? Glitter and shine and everything fine!

December for me is the start of the months of birthdays in our family. It starts with Maa’ s birthday followed by yours truly. Then comes Christmas followed by the year end shenanigans. Ushering in the new year, followed by Didi, Firoze, Rai ,Abhijitda’s birthdays in the following months. December is the month of dreams of a fresh perspective of the new year. It makes me want to wind up the highlights of the past year. Its like skimming through the pages of a favourite book even after finishing it just to read the favourite parts once again.

December is the month to come up with new resolutions and promises to myself. Promise to never give up on dreams, hope and self improvement journey. This month is extra special for me because of the beautiful blooms in our garden. The sweet roses, bright chrysanthemums, gerberas, colourful petunias, pretty pansies in all their glory.

In December is the month to be resolute for the new year. And as Marcus Aurelius said “Refuse to be forced even though the world may scream at you with its demands, even though the wild beasts may tear your body to bits” and make you want to give up on your hopes.
