An ode to January 1, 2000
In case you missed it, today is predicted to be the end of the world.
I’ve made it through several ends of the world.
Maybe you have too.
What I like best about the world’s ending is the day after.
The new beginning.
Here is what I should be reminded of:
Every day, when I wake up, I think today I am fortunate to have woken up.
I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.
Sure it’s risky. Sure there will be suffering. Sure it is not perfect.
But it is all I have and I can choose to believe in my worth. I am worth choosing well for.
