Slinking towards the New Year
I went to a surprise birthday party last night for someone who is turning 55. Standing in the darkened room waiting for him to drive up, I listen to the whispers: “How old is Frank?” “55” “Oh he’s young.” “Just starting out.” I thought about my friend who is 58 and turning 59 next year. She’s so young and just starting out. I wondered about this thing called age and time.
Right now I am crawling out of my skin but a New Year is approaching. One with fresh challenges in my job and in my personal life. I just know it’s all good but you can’t help but feel in the pit of your stomach that there is a lot of work to be done in the world – Bhutto’s death. The environment. War in Iraq. New Orleans’ recovery.
My affirmation today – Today, I commit to living life fully. I am filled with joy as I experience all the wonders that are everywhere I look.
