DARE TO DREAM? IF NOT YOU, THEN WHO?

TO  “RESOLUTION?” OR NOT TO “RESOLUTION?” THAT IS THE QUESTION…

Well here we are knee deep into the New Year. In fact, it’s almost February. Between the horrible fires and flooding- with Mother Nature raging, it’s been a very intense start, here in California and my Heart goes out to ALL who have been affected by these tragic occurrences. I had to say goodbye (for now) to my favorite Auntie C, who made her transition on January 6th. Though so hard to say goodbye, I know she is at peace now and up there somewhere with her sweet Jiminy, dancing and laughing in the sky.

 

Oh yes, and on a completely meaningless note, (by comparison and in the big scheme of things) sweet Gracie (my car) said goodbye, too. Goodbye old reliable, Helloo new car payment! Going to miss that steel horse with wings! But I digress…

 

On a high note, I do tend to look forward to change for the most part and I love our new ride, so…other than the sad parts, the Year is flowing along & with it many new doors are just waiting to be opened. The thing is which one to open? Will it be Door #1? Door # 43? What do I want? What do you want? Do you REALLY know? Trust me, the question is actually much harder than we think when we really have to sit down and clearly define what that is and what it looks like, smells like, FEELS like, specifically.

 

Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions? I’m not sure if I believe in them- I’m rather on the fence because what’s the difference between having a goal or a serious intention and a resolution? Why should we only have them when January 1st comes? Isn’t that like saying “I’ll start my diet, TOMORROW?” (By the way, I do that every Monday).So I leave you with this thought: the New Year is here and it is truly your oyster. Okay, what does THAT mean, anyway? The World is your place! It is YOURS to create whatever you can imagine for yourself. So, what`s it going to be? Script it. Visualize and fully imagine it- every little detail. Now, what are you going to actually do about it? My late Uncle Eddie Carroll said to me that I must do 3 things every day towards accomplishing my dreams (i.e.: goals, desires, RESOLUTIONS). Today, I have done one so far but I still have time! On that note, I`m signing off so I can go and do at least two more things. It’s all about forward movement. Peace Out. E
