Make Your Countdown Count

So, the Champagne has been popped, the countdown is over and a new year has begun.  If feels new, fresh and exciting to anticipate what 2012 will bring our family and friends.

I have always loved the countdown on New Year's Eve.  There is something so unifying about the world over celebrating the same moment in time (even at different time zones).  10, 9, 8....

So what goals and dreams would you pursue if they had the same pressure of a countdown?  In a way, this journey of life is our own personal countdown.  A countdown to celebrate happiness, love, redirection and the many other faces of life.  7, 6, 5...

This year, I am am going to make my countdown focus on living in the moment, worrying less, educating myself, fitness and making time for the wonderful people that have crossed my path. 4, 3, 2...

As the lyrics in one of my favorite songs says it best:

Five hundred twenty-five thousand

Six hundred minutes, Five hundred twenty-five thousand. Moments so dear. Five hundred twenty-five thousand. Six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year?

So cheers to life and creating moments to measure.  1, 0... let's go and make 2012 a countdown that truly matters.

Peace & Blessings,
