New Year - New Lessons

I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and she posed an interesting question. She asked me what my 3 major happinesses and 3 major concerns were and in answering I learned that I have a great deal more happinesses than concerns and I have found a lot of contentment in where I am. I've noticed that over the past year I have spent a lot of energy focusing on what I haven't done and then spent an equal amount of energy distracting myself from focusing on the long list of my lifetime "to do" list. What I did not do in 2007 was enjoy the moment, sieze the day, or find real time to just be in my own body. I make myself run around like crazy, always busy-- always with something else that needs to be done, but most of my days were filled with busy work, with white noise to drown out my overactive and very critical mind and I found that I'm never really happy; not a true happiness where I can sit with myself in silence and feel at ease-- more of finding a peace.

New Year's Resolution: Find my happy place.
