There is just under one hour left in 2010 here on the East Coast. Am I sad to see it end? No not really. I am looking forward to a new year. There is always promise with new beginnings and what better a new beginning than a new year and a new decade. Boy, this last decade flew by. That in and of itself is somewhat scary. It seems as if we just celebrated the new millennium and I just turn 50! Suddenly the 21st century is 10% gone and I've turned 60. Before I know it I may be 70 and the 21st century 20% gone and there is so much I still want to accomplish and see.
Everyone seems to be talking of bucket lists. I've heard at least four references to them tonight alone. What's on your bucket list? What's on my bucket list? Hmmmm.....not sure I operate with a bucket list. Maybe I should. I tend to take things as life throws them at me; which probably contributes to the roller coaster ride I often feel I'm on. One day up; the net day suddenly down. Do I know how to live any other way? I'm not sure. At least recognizing that I experience life as a roller coaster ride of ups and downs I know that no matter how low I get, tomorrow holds the possibility and often the promise of being a better day.
So here's to 2011 and what ever it throws at us. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
