Today I spent hours and hours...and hours...and a few more hours looking for something rather important. Just when I definitively decided to let it go and stop looking...I randomly opened a drawer and found it. Mind you, I had already opened this drawer, at least once if not twice. It was there all along. I just wasn't seeing it.
And that leads me to this...some new advice for a new year.
Each day gives us an opportunity to start over, each hour, each minute...each moment, really. But having regular markers of time passing we can point to with some level of gravitas helps, I think, to allow us to reflect, refocus and perhaps see what we might have been missing.
