A New Year... A New Chance

Who am I kidding... every day is a new chance... and no, I am not going to say for what... the answer to that belongs to the beholder. However... welcome to 2012. The New Year begins with people feeling a little more conscious or energized... a little awareness to carry into mid-August would be nice! I cannot blame anyone but myself if I fall off with regard to the work on moi but I can say that I really do not have anyone these days who offers a stern nudge.
We can become content (or not content but stuck) with just getting through our days. But is life not really about something so much more fruitful than that? Last year brought some hard emotional challenges... but I can pretty much guarantee that this year will as well... to be very honest with myself... does it ever end? No.
I have seen someone recently become halted in mid day... just living his life and doing his thing... and bam, life as he knew it could be no longer. That is a wake up call I am listening to this day! I do not want those kinds of regrets.... 'cause who really knows what baggage we are forced to carry with us when we go.
This is a new chance to see life for the gift it truly is. To embrace the reminder and allow it to make a shift in my course. Resolutions are not that crucial... but commitment... yeah, that requires some real effort. I can commit to not letting chances pass me by. I hope you will join me!
Happy 2012!
