Looking ahead, baby! Sun at my back, and life is good.
Well hello, bright new year! What do you have in store for me?
Or more appropriately: What do I have in store for you?
Usually by this time of year I have already laid out all my plans and schemes and resolutions for the year. But this year, since I am still on holiday for this week, I’m finding that the big picture for 2012 is slower to come into focus.
Like a camera on autofocus, aimed at the far horizon, it is taking time for the shadows to become distinguishable into recognizable shapes.
I don’t know if this is part of getting older, or if this is simply where I am in my life right now, but it really seems as if there is so little that is really within my control right now. The only thing I can control is figuring out where I want to go, being prepared for when the good stuff starts to happen, and welcoming it with the right attitude.
The one thing I do know is this: I have a deep desire to compartmentalize more this year, to keep all the myriads of goals and responsibilities and interests in their own little boxes, keeping them from bleeding into each other and messing up my mind. I want order this year.
I want to keep it SIMPLE this year, baby!
Here’s to a simplicity.
May it be GOOD…
This post sure says a lot! Here’s to simplicity!
I love the photo – I never knew you were so tall!
Haha, Steve, FUNNY! =D
“I want to keep it SIMPLE this year, baby!” is exactly how I’ve been feeling. Maybe it is the age, or realizing that if I’m staying too busy I don’t enjoy the moments I have going on every day around me.
Here’s to a great year!
Thank you, Leah, for you too!
