It’s 2010. Twenty-ten, you guys!!!

I love the start of the new year! Don’t you? It feels like the possibilities are endless and opportunities are plenty. I also love leaving my footprints in fresh snow for the first time and the first bite out of a piece of fruit, the first strains of a beautiful song, the first glimmer of something beautiful, the first moment a new idea emerges in my head. I love all the firsts in life…maybe because it gives me that sense of accomplishment or the sense that I’ve been somewhere on my own that others have yet to experience. Maybe we all share that fascination and love for newness.

I don’t know, maybe it’s not so much the newness of everything as it is my perspective being different. The light seems different on the focal point and the dreary and drab takes on a different sense of appeal and attractiveness.

I’m really not sure what it is, but Twenty-Ten looks and feels clean and nice to me. I know we are only 3 days into this new year, but I’m excited to see if in fact, the year will be fair and kind as well?

to be late.

to be stagnant.

to turn away from those who need me.

to be so busy getting to the goal that I miss out on the view.

to be so grown up that I stop being silly.

to forget  how to play ball.

to be unforgiving.

to be misunderstood.

to hold grudges.

to be selfish.

to be jealous.

to be afraid of success.

to stop trying.

to be afraid to fail.

to stop moving.

to ever stop laughing.

to forget to smile.

to ever forget to enjoy beauty.

to forget the simple pleasure of food.

to ever look past the beauty in a baby’s eyes.

to not lend a helping hand.

to forget to share.

to stop appreciating the wonderful people around me.

to ever stop living as I go through life.

Life is too short to miss out on all the little things. I’m ready to live and enjoy it to the fullest. What’s the new year hold for you?
