It recently occurred to me that I might not know as much as
I thought I did about my loved ones. I am not talking about how many sugars my
Dad takes in his tea in the morning (two) or my littlest brother’s favourite
alcoholic beverage (everything), but the really truly important things.
When do we cross the line between trying so hard to lead a
productive and meaningful life; and actually living it? Being ‘in’ the moment instead
of just on the outskirts peering in?
I feel as though in recent months I have failed to see the
forest through the trees so to speak. And while I feel I know what I am aiming
for, I can’t help but wonder if in the meantime I am losing touch with myself
and those I care about in the process.
I think with this New Year now upon us, I have one of two
choices. I can either pull back and just breathe; which I know will bring me
peace but not much more; or I can get in there and live. Say goodbye to sleep,
work my butt off, save my pennies for things that matter like memories and
experiences and just live; try and pump 24 hours worth of living into each day.
I think there is really only one choice and that’s option B.
If we are all to die by the Mayan predictions this year I don’t want to regret
a single moment. So here’s to 2012; and living life to the fullest.

Such a beautiful sentiment and one I couldn't agree with more. That's very cute that you took the time to find out the little things about your family - I'm going to do the same! Life is for the living and to take the time to experience what really matters to you. xx
Aw thank you honey :) Hehe I am glad you're going to make the time for the small things, you won't regret it. And you're 100% right, imagine what this world could be if only we lived more than we existed :) xo
