After my last post, a few of you seemed a bit concerned that I was becoming depressed about my 35-year-old life. No worries. I actually feel pretty amazing. Yes, I have fears and regrets and doubts, but I also have a deep appreciation for all that is Good - including my fears, for I'm allowing them to motivate me. I realize so fully now that time is short - and therefore, we must pursue our dreams NOW.
Isn't that the mantra of a new year? New resolutions, new promises, renewed spirit? The beauty of growing older is that we come to know and love ourselves more completely. We become more comfortable in our own skin and more peaceful in our hearts. And yet, we also realize that we have less time to enjoy this new found peace.
And so I enter this new Jewish Year, 5770, with this wonderful awareness and with clear intention. I enter it with the realization that I am in charge of my own happiness. I enter it knowing that with a little help from G-d, I can make my dreams true. I enter it with an open heart and open mind and prayers for peace. I enter it so appreciative of the Love around me - of family, and friends, and colleagues. I enter the year grateful for this blog, that is allowing me to pursue my passion, and share my innermost thoughts, and I am even more appreciative of all of you readers, for sharing with me in return. I am so blessed.
Have a Rockin' new year! L'shana tova.
