Have you ever thought about the direction your life has taken and asked “What the hell happened?”

Do you ever think about the dreams and goals you had as a child and wondered why you gave up on them?  And then wonder, “Is it too late?”

Do you ever think “when do I get my life back?”

I find it interesting that we grow up with dreams and goals and very rarely achieve them…why?

I have often wondered about my choices and wonder if the opportunities that I passed up will come back around.  Don't get me wrong, I have no regrets about the choices I've made, but I wonder about the dreams/goals that had to be left behind (or put aside).  I don't want to think “what if” and live in the past, but…what if?

I say it' time to “grab the bull by the horns” and to achieve some of those past dreams/goals.  It's never too late to try something new or something you always wanted to do…after all, you only live once, so why not make it the best and have no regrets.

This year I vow to do something that I have always wanted to do, be it pottery class, moving, jumping from a perfectly good airplane, enjoying the peace of the waves on the beach or just more sightseeing, I'm going to do it and have a blast.  I'm going to take every opportunity that arises (good or bad) and make the best of it, for there is always a “silver lining in every cloud”.  It's not what you want but wanting what you have and doing something with it.

I have not changed, but I have grown and I will make myself a better person, I will get back to my dreams/goals and I will live.

2010 will be the year of changes for me.  I will be making some big and small decisions and will not regret any of them.  I will be the best person I can be and will open my arms to joy of living and experience the bliss of life.  I will not let anyone or anything get in my way.  Bring It On!  I'm ready for whatever you can dish out!
