We have two days left for the first half of the year, it is amazing how quickly time goes by!
I went back and read my New Year's blog, and mostly what I had said was that I didn't expect anything from the year; but I wondered what new things I would add to me this year? How would I spend my time?
With half a year gone, I have done so many things for the first time or reignited old things I used to do. It has opened up new doors and new friends have entered!
The first half of the year is on track, and I am excited to see what I add for the second.
Life is lived in the days and moments. What we say yes to and how much we put into a day. Making plans and dreaming of new adventures to accomplish.
At 58, I feel that my life is mostly lived. Meaning, I have done more living than I have yet to go.
In last third of my life or the third act, I hope to continue to add new things; to do something for the first time!
This act alone makes you feel younger.
As each new day dawns, there are endless ways in which we can chose to play.
I feel the sands of time seeping past, my hour glass showing more passing of time; than what I have left to live. And, I don't want to waste them or wait for "another day". Today, is the day in which we live.
To look deeper into what we see each day. Look and take note of how many moments of joy we have in one day.
Cheryl Sandberg, who wrote "Option B" said that joy brings hope.
When she was at her lowest, she challenged herself to find 5 moments of joy each day.
They can be simple, like "hot tea".
Imagine, how many moments of joy will be added up in a year! And, those are only the ones you are aware of!
Joy often is the absence of pain, worry, or sadness.
Life is packed with so much that we don't notice; until we decide to seek it out.
I sought out adventures and they keep coming in.
I wanted to live a life of love, peace and joy and they continue to pop up in the most unusual places!
I am excited for the second half!
