Making a life…
Some food for thought: Here’s a quote from Maya Angelou – “I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as making a ‘life.’”
Such resounding words, especially now at the end of a year, at Holiday time, at the end of a decade. So quickly it seems that this decade is ending – but yet another is beginning.
Have I been making a “life” or simply making a “living”?
Am I treading water or actually swimming?
Do I run through each day, racing to complete deadlines, or do I take (or make) the time to actually enjoy the racing, the people, the weather, the plants & sky, the big and the little things?
Am I only focused on the journey’s end, or on the journey?
Ah, life. What an incredible, unfolding voyage. May we all learn to better create it, savor it, laugh at it, laugh with it, and embrace it.
Happy End of the Decade. Or shall I say, Happy Beginning of the Next….
