Pick a place. And start.
Here we are on the fourth day of 2012 (my birthday, as a matter of fact), and I have yet to post for the year. I’ve been doodling and jotting all week, but I couldn’t come up with the perfect way to kick off the New Year here. Nothing seemed to fit quite right.
So I stopped over-thinking it. And here it is.
Life is like that sometimes. I get so bogged-down with thinking that something must be done this way or the other, and I forget to recognize that sometimes, the doing it, no matter which way, is what matters the most.
You just have to start. And let yourself start. And fail. And then pick back up and start again. It’s the starting that really counts. And what you learn along the way marks the path with what’s important most of all.
It’s been quite a year. A year filled with love and work, family and independence. To think back on a year ago, I am reminded of my new move to the city, a fairly new job, and a budding romance. And now, here I am, just one short (or long, depending how you look at it) year later; and looking back on the countless dates and holidays and graduations and the health and happiness of my friends and family, I feel so blessed. And I know, that in another year’s time, I will look back on this time with just the same feeling.
Hello, 2012. Let’s get you started.
