I woke up just in time to see the sun begin to set over the East River. I guess one could say I slept in. I blame last night and my own vices. It was 2am and I could have called it a night but I figured I was floating between 2007 and 2008, so time didn't really mean anything at that point, i.e. I should keep going. Time would stand still, at least for one night. Yes, it was quite a drunken mess out there and I ended the night with two bruised wrists, but it was time I wouldn't have again. No regrets, and importantly, no hangover. With the new year upon us, it's an opportunity to reset and re-engage -- to look forward to the days ahead of me and not count the days behind me. It's a new benchmark with which to measure experiences, successes and discoveries. And ideally, it's 365 opportunities to create colorful, defining moments that will stay with us for years to come.
Notes to self: work hard and play nice. don't neglect the important things. every so often, take the long way. follow your heart. go to bed earlier. cook more. worry less. cultivate meaningful friendships. see the glass half full. indulge once in a while. remain open to opportunities. be mindful of toxic friends. laugh as often as possible. exchange smiles with strangers. think happy thoughts. stay faithful to mini-skirts. clean out closets. visit Britton. be health smart. choose battles wisely. trust your instincts. always always be true to yourself. write when inspired. appreciate solace. take better care of self. just breathe. in the end, all will be well...again. repeat.
Happy 2008.
