One week of New Year 2012 gone, elderly forecast inspired by the Feng Shui experts

Having lived for more than 60 years, the coming of a new year always brings newness and for the elderly it is another gift of life, another year of chances to change for the better. One need not be an expert to forecast for one's years of actual living make you somehow the expert of how to live. Still this elderly listened to some of the Feng Shui experts and it is comforting to note that they were unanimous in saying that CHANGE is key to better way of living this new year. Certainly this one word is not that new, isn't it? It is our daily execution of it that is always lacking. How many times do we say it again and again: "Nothing is permanent except change" - for that is its message - keep on changing no matter what and every time any time. 

One week has passed this new year of 2012 how are things? Whatever is your state in life, you must have been beset by what is ahead of you. The Syrians will go on with their struggle. The Iraqis will have more problems what with explosions that go on. U.S. Jobs are up but a long way to go according to CNN and BBC reports. The Filipinos will have political troubles what with the Impeachment of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court coming and upcoming court hearings for the ex-president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo  Many other issues have arisen which all cause confusion and/or fear for the future.

There is however an elderly tip w can give as elderly: take one thing at a time. One week has passed. Be kind to yourself and let things come. Before you know it, better things will just meet us first moment of the following week. Smile. You are more than all the troubles in the world combined. You are a child of the universe as Desiderata says. You have a right to be here.  Be gentle with yourself.Be happy!
