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 won’t waste it.
Sure, it’s risky. Of course there will be suffering. No it isn’t perfect.
But it’s mine. A gift. I believe in my worth. I will try to make choices that create a marvelous story. A life I am happy to have.
