The First Day of 2008
posted: Jan 1, 05:47 PM
For some reason I am having great difficulty with the entire concept of us entering 2008. I have to laugh at myself as I write this, because it seems such a silly thing to have difficulty conceptualizing.
The flip side to my “issue” is I am feeling very positive about 2008. Perhaps this is due to its being an even number; possibly it’s just where I am in my life; or even more weirdly, I just have a “feeling” 2008 will be a good year. See why I’m laughing? I think I’m having a surreal moment. I’m not normally so, so…I don’t even have words!
All silliness aside. I hope 2008 is a special year. Not just for me and for those whom I love, but for all of you too. I suspect I am an optimistic person, but I do believe it is possible to find positives in the most unlikely places.
I think by now if you’ve been reading my posts you know I’m not “icky sweet” and believe life to be all good. I think it can be damned hard! I believe, however, life is what we make of it. We choose how we will respond to what life throws at us and as we have the power to make choices, we maintain some semblance of power over our journey.
Yes, life happens and sometimes what “happens” isn’t much fun and may cause us significant physical and/or emotional pain. This being said, we each then have the power to decide what our response will be and whether life will beat us down or if we will rise to meet the challenge.
All the best for 2008.
