looking ahead.

i hope you all have a wonderful new year's eve.
i hope it's the sort of night that allows you to start the new year on a good note.

everyone does one of those 'let's look back on the year and remember all of the good and/or bad times we had'.
i'd rather not.
of course a lot of good thing happened to me.
a lot of not so good things happened too.
i've already dwelt upon those events, considered their importance in the big scheme of things and now i'm ready to let them rest behind me. i'm ready to look forward to what the next year is bringing me, what new adventures i'll have, the new people i'll meet, the new experiences i'll get to have. the past builds us up to what we are in the moment, but it doesn't really do any good to focus on the past. hindsight is 20-20. i think it's more important to be looking ahead.
be mindful of what's to come.
this doesn't mean assume you know, just prepare yourself for what may or may not happen. which is everything.
accept what is coming with open mind, heart, and arms.
know that life isn't perfect, it isn't fair, it's beautiful and mysterious and perfect in it's own way.
i've never, personally, felt more at peace with myself and the changes that are coming. i hope you all can feel this way too, someday.

namaste.
