Die reuk van sonbrandolie en krismiskoek, die gevoel van sand tussen die tone, geruis van die see en die borrel van skermerkelkie op die tong, is dalk teen di\u00e9 tyd nou net \u2019n herinnering. <\/p>\n
Die goue songebrande vel is besig om te kwyn. Die kersmusiek en vrolike kerversierings is sekerlik al weggepak. Maar al die ding (of enige ander manier van vakansiehou) is onder meer d\u00edt waarna ons verlang en smag deur die jaar – om dit weer te beleef.<\/p>\n
Die nuwe jaar is luisterryk gevier met vonkelwyn en jolyt! Hoewel die viering al vervaag het, kom hy oor jaar weer. <\/p>\n
Die jaar l\u00ea uitgestrek soos \u2019n strandhanddoek voor ons. Maar die ritme van die lewe verander nou gaandeweg na \u2019n vinniger hartklop. Dis weer tyd om te konsentreer om die nuwe jaartal reg te skryf. Die nuwe skooljaar klop aan die deur. En dit beteken weer inkopies vir skryfbehoeftes, skoolklere en \u2013skoene. Die winkels hang omtrent uit met die terug-skooltoe promosies. Die jaar neem sy loop met vakansies aan die einde van kwartale, soos altyd. Met atletiek in die warme somerdae. Ouers sal weer langs die sportveld \u2019n riel doen om kinders aan te spoor.<\/p>\n
Met nuwe moed trippel jy (weer) by die gimnasium of dansklas in om fikser te word. Met die nuwe eetplan gaan jy di\u00e9 jaar wraggies daarby hou, en deurdruk tot jy jou doelgewig bereik. Net soos verlede jaar\u2026<\/p>\n
Skaars is die skoolkwartaal aan die gang, dan wals ons weer om geliefdes te bederf op Valentynsdag. Ons hou tog so van simboliek, van harte en rooi items wat liefde en passie aankondig. <\/p>\n
Skielik neem die pas weer toe na Paastyd toe, want dan is daar weer \u2019n ruskansie. Ons polka winkels toe om paaseiers te koop en verlustig ons in die verskeidenheid soete plesiere en paasbolletjies. Die ritme van die lewe voorspel hierdie gebeure jaarliks min of meer op dieselfde tyd.<\/p>\n
Intussen kom jou verjaarsdag weer verby\u2026Jy maak of koop lekkernye om di\u00e9gene wat jou onthou, te bederf. Soms voel dit of die jaar te vining verbygesnel het sedert die vorige verjaarsdag. Maar jy moet byhou en voort dans.<\/p>\n
Ander dae word jy meegesleur op \u2019n treurige deuntjie met die jaarlikse herdenking van die sterfdag van \u2019n geliefde. Deksels! Al is dit hoe lank, daardie deuntjie bring jou soms net tot \u2019n hartseer gewieg \u2013 die ritme van die lewe bring jou soms tot stilstand.<\/p>\n
Maar voor jy weet, het die seisoene verander. Jy het alweer somerklere vir winterklere verruil \u2013 jy doen dit elke jaar. So dans ons op die ritme van die lewe. <\/p>\n
As jy net altyd op dieselfde deuntjie gedans het, maak \u2019n doelbewuste besluit om op \u2019n ander vroliker liedjie te dans. Kapityt hierdie jaar! Wees \u2019n lekker mens!<\/p>\n
Mag dit \u2019n spiekeries nuwe jaar wees. My wens vir jou is om meer te lag, meer te kuier, meer te beweeg, meer vars lug te geniet, \u2019n reis te beplan en…lekker te dans op die ritme van die lewe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
