Week 26
What do you Sea?
July 1, 2010
Half way through 2010. Week 26. It doesn't seem like the days are going that quickly, but here we are, well into the summer and heading towards 2011. What do you want to have 2010 be remembered for? I think I want 2010 to be remembered for the time I spent pursuing a passion. The image above reminds me of this because the person you see (I hope you've seen the person by now:)), is me standing over a retreating collection of sea-foam that has just run up Sculptured Beach at Point Reyes National Seashore on a recent photo-shooting trip. Maybe for you what makes 2010 memorable is that it's the year you started a family, or the year you reprioritized your life to match your values. Maybe it's the year you got lost so that you could discover. Maybe it's the year you set and hit some personal goals, or healed some relationships that were broken.
Recently I was at a BBQ at a friend's home and we were playing a game of sorts, conversation starters really that asked a question for the group to respond to. Some questions were silly or petty and got a collective "boo" from the group, but most were interesting, thought provoking questions that forced you to think about what is important to you. It was a light-hearted mood, and fun to banter about with answers and explanations, but time and time again the idea that friends and family, the relationships that we have been given are the things that are most valued. More so than money, or things... relationships are what we must have and will do most anything for. As you walk through your day tomorrow and the week and months ahead, think about how you can foster the relationships you have.
There are so many ways to make daily choices that will play a large part in the course your life is taken. Don't let 2010, or any year that follows it slip by with your life on auto-pilot. Make it memorable, make it one you remember, and make daily decisions to that end! Until next week....
