What a year it has been…Life is indeed, beautiful.

I
was thinking today about how much can happen in a year. Such a short
span of time, in the whole spectrum of things, and yet…how much living
did I cram into that span?

At the end of this year, do I feel
as though I’ve exhausted every possibility that I had? And those that I
didn’t have, did I create them?

This year was a complete blur for me. In some ways, that’s a great thing – time flies when you’re having fun, right?

In
other ways, though, it’s not such a great thing – some moments end far
too soon, and who knows when they’ll come again…the highs are always
over so quickly, while the lows – with their dark challenges – seem to
blanket the whole of time.

I’ve learned to live in the moment
more though…I learned the beauty of that freedom from a girl who
wasn’t  afraid to let go of the truly unimportant, grab hold tightly to
what she wanted, and live, no matter where the ride went…

I’m
thankful for those lessons…I’m thankful I haven’t forgotten. I’m
thankful that I applied it this year. (Thanks for the song, too. ;-) )

Every
moment of ‘007, from the death of friends to friends kids’ births and
all the love between, in every language…what a year.

I have a
poster on my wall where I can regularly see it, that asks: "If someone
wrote a book about your life, would anyone want to read it?"

The
answer of course is already yes. I have lived some very freaking
interesting decades. But since I’m still here, the book isn’t over, and
thus, the only one reading as I go forward is…me.

The ground I
covered in ‘007, while amazing and at a higher altitude than before,
well, it’s ground I’ve covered. I’ve been there. I’ve seen that. I’ve
done that.

In the coming year, I want something more. Something different. Something earth-shattering, mind-blowing, cliche-removing. =)

And I’m not afraid to fail in order to experience it.

What makes you feel alive? Go get it. Do it. Be it.

No regrets, baby. No regrets…
