Yesterday after work,the boss told me I was fired.When I walked along a riverbed sadly,I suddenly realized it was New Year's Day,a day to start afresh.
I passed by a man holding his son,one or two years old.The baby's face was in pure joy,and his innocent eyes were full of wonder.The simple sweetness of the baby made me moved.
Walking on,I saw a young couple repairing their bicycle.They smiled at me and said, "Happy New Year!" I smiled and wished them the same.It was a simple thing,but for a moment it brought me a sudden joy.
I kept walking,enjoying the cheerful singing of birds.With people around laughing out loud,an old woman immersed herself in her sewing.She didn't seem either happy or sad.A feeling of timeless peace flowed through me and all fear of what the future might bring disappeared.I thanked her in my heart,and moved on.
As I reached home,I was filled with great thanks and hope for life,which took me a long time to find.Actually,happiness could be simple and easy.Now I knew whatever the New Year would bring,there would be joy and enough love to help me through the hard times we all had to face.
"Happy New Year!" I said to myself.
