Excellent Sometimes resolutions fail and yet better things await Looking back on the year so far by Sumana Pathak Sharma 25 percent left contest entry Artwork by cleo85 at FanArtReview.com

How in October did we land?  I thought I’d come far  But from where I stand  The green meadows are still away  I was left enamored by the silent ranches I saw on my way Rugged, beaten but beautiful paths  I took the roads less traveled  The plan is in tatters  But it doesn’t feel like I betrayed I only followed my heart  And now, from where I stand  There couldn’t have been a better path  My heart didn’t stray Oh new year, I look your way  I’ll have a plan  But I’ll throw it to the wayside, If my heart says nay  Author Notes We like to start the new year with resolutions and goals but the path to these should not be set in stone. Sometimes our heart and gut call for taking a different path than the one we had planned for and may even lead to a destination we could â??notâ?? have imagined. Yet sometimes it makes sense to forget all the rules and just ride along and chase the butterflies. Like our heart, they know exactly where they are going! Our brain often does not. Our resolutions mainly come from our brain. So, go figure!
