New year; new thoughts


The end of the year has come and gone. The new year is here. Fast and Furious. And most of us have plotted and planned what 2012 might look like. We're picking words for our best intentions and at the same time we're looking back at the year behind us; reflecting on our proudest moments as well as those we let slip through our fingers.



I feel myself a little in limbo as I am looking both back and forward. I want to give the past year it's due respect; to fully honor it and make a mental note of how far I've come. How far my kids have come. And yet I am starting to plan for what Feb, March, even July will bring. Each month being a strong stepping stone to the next chapter; I want to be really ready for it.




With all that, I am recalling all the many seemingly two-sided debates we grapple with in our daily lives. Two sides of the story. Now or later. Empty or full. Sunrise or sunset. Inside, outside (or upside down.)



Or, sometimes. We prefer a happy meduim. Maybe these choices we wrestle with are more about striking a harmonious balance. Whatever your angle, there is no denying the many sides.




Cheers to a new way of looking at things today!
