Here's to another year down
As the new year starts everyone is posting about resolutions and positive affirmations for 2015. People in general are trying to have a good time and do better. We lost a few this year, time stands still for no one. As I reflect on my year I am pretty happy. I have made many new friends and have been fortunate enough to be a part of a growing scene here in New Orleans.
My whole life I have felt like I was on a time crunch. Like I was living on a time clock that was ticking down way faster than I am comfortable with. My conscious awareness of my mortality is always in the back of my mind. I remember reading the comments made by someone regarding a young woman who had taken her own life instead of dying a slow painful death from a terminal illness. The woman stated "how awful it must be to live every day knowing that you're going to die". This struck me as insane. I laughed so I wouldn't cry at the absurdity of her comment. We are all dying, some just quicker than others. It blows my mind how people just go about there day living life and putting off their dreams and ambitions. There is no tomorrow, no guarantee's, no promises and definitely no refunds.
I don't do the resolution thing. I would like to believe that throughout the year I try to improve and change and avoid complacency. I have a long way to go and a lot to learn. So lets make 2015 about getting out and doing a little something to make things happen. You reach a goal by standing up your obstacles and knocking them down one at a time. The good old days are now and life is what happens while you are planning it. Death comes for all of us eventually and I can promise you he's gonna have to chase me down.
