New beginnings..

The new year has come and a whole month and six days have passed. I feel everything and everybody is new. Its always sad when old friends move away. But I realize now how much more depressing it can be when a few just move on...
I am reminded of the day when I was very young and my mother was leaving for her first day in a new job. My mother had always been available when me & my sister were young. The whole concept was new to me and I did not know how to handle it. I told my mother that I was very sad that she was going. My mother, in her very "mother to daughter" manner told me that everyone in life had to go sometime. I don't know why I am reminded of that incident, but I think back now & see how my mother had explained things to me at such a young age. I am not claiming that I have become a stronger human being after that, but such small anecdotes keep popping in my mind at very odd times.
I am not a very sensible person & I cannot honestly claim that people coming and going in my life doesn't make any difference. But life goes on and I have moved on....I wonder if anybody ever gets depressed seeing I have moved on...that's wishful thinking for another time....
