something wonderful happened today that just tied 2009 together in a nice bow. nothing grand and life-changing (well, potentially life-changing, depends how you look at it), but a simple conversation with an old friend that brought back some level of peace and sanity. a lot has changed in the past year - a few new presidents around the world, moving across the continent, switching jobs, not having a job, loved ones getting engaged, babies growing up - whether big or small, i guess these changes will never stop.
today was one of those days that reminded me of where i come from. there will always be changes, but it is up to us to hold onto what is important amidst this crazy world we live in. old friends, new friends, good friends, not-so-good friends: these are the people that make us who we are. time is too precious to be wasted on judgments, and despite the eye-rolls i get every time i say this, i'm going to insist that i AM getting old; we are all getting too old too quickly to be dwindling on the what-if's and the what-should-be's of the past. let's start building on the what-could-be's of the future, shall we?
2009 has been a year of ups and downs and like all the years before, it has been a year of learning and growth. here's to ringing in 2010 with a peace of mind that my friends and family are healthy and happy.
