--Jeremy Vine, The Telegraph
That's the opening sentence of only one of a multitude of Year in Review articles for 2010. Mr. Vine goes on to say that "memories are 97 per cent personal – this was the year your brother became a father, your mother got ill, you fell stupidly in love with the local florist, got that great new job and crashed your scooter – so public events compete for limited head space."
I think reviewing your life periodically can be beneficial, though, and what better time than the eve of a new year to do that? If you had to write an opening sentence like the one above for your personal 2010 Year in Review, what would it say?
Here's mine: "A year of discovery, risk-taking and letting go, with a soundtrack of silence and peace."
Share your opening sentence in the comments section below... I'd love to read it!
A year of clarifying decisions, of settling down into midlife with joy, purpose, and gratitude.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great year, Cynthia! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSever some relationships, make a bunch of new ones. Not going to be tied to the past. Funny how a heart attack helps set your priorities!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! So sorry to hear about the heart attack, Vance, but happy that you're re-focused on what really matters. Be well, my friend...
ReplyDeleteLearned and learning that when I touch (feel) the soft spot inside
ReplyDeleteme, the tender place in my chest, the heart, is when I am in the present moment and connecting with what's in front of me...most recently learned
And learning how to do this while with others...no more loneliness, or depression exists in that space. Only Love!
Beautiful, Leila... and so true. Thanks for sharing!
