It seems that we are being given reminders in both large global ways in small personal ways not to take life for granted. This year I hope we take that message to heart.  Find the time, speak your love often, mend a quarrel, keep a promise, welcome a stranger.

Let’s begin this year by reflecting about the changes we want to see and then putting our intentions into action.  The way we spend our time is ultimately the way we spend our lives. Devote your time and energy this year to what really matters.

What do you always think about doing, but don’t actually do?

What does your heart desire? Have you always wanted to run a marathon, take a trip to the land of your ancestors, take a photography class, learn to speak another language, plant a garden, write your history, or volunteer at a local charity?

Commit to making this be the year we actually do it! The reality is we make time for whatever is really important to us. If it is truly a priority we find, we carve out, we create the time.

How will you be spending your time in 2010?
