I sometimes think that by now, I have reached the pinnacle of my life. I feel I have searched for wisdom that is beyond the normal. I have dedicated considerable time to discover the things that are so very important to my experience of the life that I celebrate.
Sometimes it has seemed like there was sacrifice involved, but mostly it was that I felt a bit tuckered out from time to time. Something always showed up to re-energize me and my projects.
Can you feel it?
There is definitely love in the air! The broadband usage will skyrocket today, that’s for sure. And then there will be the flowers, the cards and the candy as tradition makes its claim on each of us.
So, let’s have this day be one of exquisiteness, succulence, verve……and most important, taking that leap of faith in life and love that we have been rehearsing over and over in our minds! This is the time, finally!
Did Descartes really mean, “I am, therefore I think.” Might be more accurate. (I think)
There are definitely times in my life when I feel a need to know for sure, instead of what others may ‘think.’
Having spent a bit of time over the past week, flipping TV channels, looking for some mentally uplifting programs from which I could learn something new, I was again overwhelmed with the amount of TV gossip we are exposed to. We are definitely enveloped in a world where TV and other media are obsessed with personal scandal.
Okay, I have to confess that I parked myself in front of these programs, too.
The New Year has begun, and yes, some of us even made a few resolutions. Well, maybe we were coaxed to do it. Maybe some of our friends have been waiting all year to use the excuse of the resolutions to ‘suggest’ it is time for some of us to ‘get more active’, for example?
Is it an automatic response to the year end, to publicly agree to follow the advice of those friends? Maybe it is about agreeing in order to ‘look good’ or be a good citizen? I can recognize a bit of that! Mostly, they give me the appearance that I am resolute in my resolutions!
What a great year it has been! I have learned so much, including this new hi-tech way of connecting to my family, friends and everyone who has stopped in and visited richmatters.com in 2009.
It has shown me that there are so many ways that we can be a part of one global community. We speak of this one-ness and find it so difficult to truly understand how closely we are a part of each other’s lives.
It’s late evening once again, my favorite part of the day, here in front of my fireplace, dancing flames, strings of twinkling colored lights and soft music, turning my room mystical, it seems.
My thoughts are on the words inside cards that have been given to me. May I say a few words about those words…’Peace and good will towards all men?’
