Another trip around the sun...

As I close another year of my life here on earth, I begin a new year with a different perspective on life. Time to put away my childish ways and start enjoying each day for what it is...my life. I cannot live in the past and dwell upon the things I wish were different. I must take each day with a ray of sunshine (literally) and make the best of it. It is time for me to discover exactly what it is that will make me happy. Yes, ME...I deserve it! It is my time to shine!

And since it has been a while, I can't resist the opportunity to throw out a Buffett lyric...

Jimmy Buffett, Trip Around The Sun Lyrics
(with Martina McBride)


Hear 'em singing Happy Birthday
Better think about the wish I made
This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake
Every day's a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
Just one more candle and a trip around the sun

Chorus:I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning
And it's good to know it's out of my control
If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living
Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go

No, you never see it coming
Always wind up wondering where it went
Only time will tell if it was time well spent
It's another revelation
Celebrating what I should have done
With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun

(Chorus)

Yes, I'll make a resolution
That I'll never make another one
Just enjoy this ride on my trip around the sun
Just enjoy this ride ...
Until it's done

No regrets, just lessons learned! Happy Birthday to me!
