Time...
Words...
Opportunity.
Are the 3 things in life they say that once gone, never come back.
On Time- This year, I didn't waste any time. I committed myself to the triathlon sport and trained hard. I devoted myself to learn to swim. I took up the enjoyment of Salsa dancing and even performed in front of friends and family. I learned the art of Thai Yoga Massage and received as well as gave the flow of energy and metta (love). Though time has gone passed me, I've done all this with something to gain in the end. New skill sets, simple enjoyment, sweet friendships and great memories. My time has gone and I didn't waste any of it.
On Words - When I said I would, I did. Meet you for lunch? I'm there!
Swim a mile everyday before my race. Done!
Get Lean. Check! Looking back on My 2009 list, I told myself I would document life, be funnier, eat healthier, and...what was the last one? Oh yes, LOVE MORE...(I had to look back at that one).
I'm glad to have had the means to fulfill my years' desire. Next year is another one to accomplish and I'm ready to place my words on it. So, say what you mean, but more importantly, mean what you say.
On Opportunity - I feel like I missed a couple this year. I took too long to think it through and with unemployment to deal with, I was hesitant to spend. I missed the opportunity to watch my friend make her lifetime commitment in Nicaragua. And because many friends had gotten married this year, I had to give up attending one over the other. I missed my October aim to become a certified yoga instructor. At least missing that opportunity leaves me things to do for 2010.
Once gone, they never come back...are time, words and opportunity.
