New Year 2010
Well it's New Years 2010. It's time for new beginnings. A fresh slate. A new chapter in your book of life. Have you thought about what this new chapter will be about? I can only hope for the best this year. Last year was a difficult one but in the same sense, it was a joyous year for my family and me. I'm hoping this year will be better. Last year I married the greatest person I know, our ebay business turned out fabulous, I connected with friends I haven't heard from in years and I didn't have to work during Christmas. I got to see my family and friends and met some really cool people this past year. How do I beat 2009? I just keep doing the same thing; spreading the love and peace that this world needs so badly.
It's amazing to me how much we grow up and how quickly it happens. How we lose touch and get reconnected again after so many years. It's a good thing life is. Hence, 'Life is Good'.
Let's make this year a better year. Contact friends and family you haven't seen or heard from in a while. You'll be surprised with the welcome you get.
I've been doing this over the last couple of years. A few years ago my very close friend (to be considered a brother) of mine passed away suddenly. His name was Jay and he was a life time friend. I met Jay when I was 14. We had the same friends and soon became brothers.
When I went to the wake and funeral I saw friends that I hadn't seen in years. It was awesome seeing these people that I shared my childhood with. I got everyone's email address and suggested a reunion. To my surprise, everyone attended. Like the good ole days, we partied til 6:30 in the morning. We've been doing this now for 4 years (maybe 5 but who's counting).
Ya know what the great thing about my friends are? After not seeing them for years and I mean years, as soon as we saw each other, it was like we talked yesterday. I know you have friends like that.
In closing; keep in touch with the people you love. Family and friends are all the same to me. Make new friends and see your family more. Make peace. Do something nice for people and try not to get caught up in the every day life we all know oh so well.
Peace to you and all you love.
