I decided to treat myself with a brand new watch. My last watch had accompanied me for over 10 years. A watch is never something I covet. Replacing my old one with the new was quite an emotional act, although I acted bravely in the jewelry shop when I put the new shiny watch on my wrist. It looks beautifully delicate on me. Putting on a new watch is a symbolic gesture; moving ahead into a new season, a new phase in my life. The old has gone, the new has come. Coming to the end of the year, I tend to become sentimental about many things that I usually take for granted during the year, like my old watch. December holiday is a time for us to reflect on the things that we may have neglected, or things that we have allowed ourselves to be accustomed to. I have many old watches which I have neglected over the year; friendships, personal well-ness, family, to name just a few. What old watches do you have?

I have an old watch too, which i have been wearing for 1o years. It's a gift from an old friend who cares about me a lot. I still don't want to let that go. The thing is, I don't really watch my time very much these days. :)
