There is snow on the ground, laying there as if it needed a rest after it's long trip down. I can relate. This past decade has been like a long trip and today I rest thick on the sidewalk of my life, thinking. I have loved, I have hated. I have lived a life of concern, dabbled a bit in apathy. I have lied, I have told the truth. I have avoided and on the rare occasion I have confronted. I have wounded and I have been wounded. I have said cold goodbyes and awkward first hellos.
Once someone suggested to me that if I was not careful I would live a diminished life. My first act of the new year? To let him and that silly idea go. There is no small life only people who are so wrapped up in trying to compete for the most impressive life that we miss the natural greatness that has already been given and cannot be taken away. I don't have to go and try to make my life great. Greatness has already found a home in me...and you. You are already there. Now go and be...you.
Happy New Year
