Start Me Up
Monday, December 30, 2024
Happy New Year’s Eve Eve to those who celebrate. It’s day 1 of the week 1 of 2025 and once that mattered more to me than it does now. I’d gotten really good at tracking my goals weekly, quarterly, and beyond, and somewhere I lost sight of that and just existed. Going years being jobless or underemployed will do that to a person.
I’m at my best when I don’t worry about where I was or where I’m going, but be present. To embrace the moment that is here, and win that moment, that hour, that day. That page. Paragraph. Sentence. Instead of thinking about the then or the next, clinging to the now.
Because it is me clinging, white knuckled, to the idea that creation is its own reward, and that by putting something new into the universe, all my own, will be enough to start me up again.
