2009.

What a year so far.  There have been a few ups, and many more downs.

The key is to remember.

Remember that everything happens for a reason.  Whether what happens opens your eyes to the rut you were living in.  Or maybe you realize that now is your chance; your chance to do the things that you have never had time (or never made time) to do.

To sleep in.  To travel.  To write like you have never written before.  To clean out that closet or space you have neglected for so long.  To really be able to enjoy a meal instead of scarfing it down while you are doing three things at once.  To read.  To really read.

To pay attention to all that has been going on around you for the last fifteen years.  All that you have enjoyed or could have enjoyed; look at it how you will.

But make sure you are looking.  

And see.
