Is it just me, or are the years flying by? It seems that I just started a new section in my file cabinet to make way for 2011. And now, here I am clearing space for 2012.
As I was rubber banding my old records, it occurred to me that I could stuff a year of life into a few inches of folders. All the routine recordings of life. Repairs made to the cars (and ourselves). The rejection letters, the acceptance letters, the bad news, the thrilling travel plans, the financial ups and downs. Post cards from friends, a graduation program, my dad’s obituary. Evidence of the days gone by. Proof of passing time.
All those rubber-banded bundles remind me that life is so short. Why not have a say in making 2012 a better year? Surround yourself with positive people. Eat better. Rise to a challenge. Exercise more. Vow to forgive. Travel. Take a chance. Give someone a hand. Question what doesn’t make sense. Stay true to who you are. Do something for yourself that others may consider foolish. Love your family and friends. And believe in the infinite possibilities of what can be.
