the next day of the rest of your life

Most things in life have a beginning and an end.


Friendships
Jobs
Parenting
Illnesses
Years
Vacations
TV Shows
Dishwasher cycles



That is the sad thing about our lives; we spend them planning / anticipating beginnings and worrying about endings rather than enjoying the in between. The next year could certainly be that type of year for me.  There will be many changes coming. But I simply refuse to focus on beginnings and endings.  It seems like a waste of time.

With reflection- I have figured that this is only one thing that does not have a beginning and end is LOVE.

LOVE

When everything else is come and gone- it is only LOVE that remains.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live an entire year just focused on today?

• To be present in the moment 
• To focus on pursuing your passions
• To take time to smell the roses
• To love life more deeply

Most of us spend our days focused on doing what society says we should do rather than what we would do. I will spend 365 days focused on living each day for each day and learning and pursuing what is my love.  What lessons will be learned?
