What quarter of your life are you in?
This time of year is just concusses my brain. I get all reflective and sappy about the current state of my life and what I want for the future. Nothing like "new year, new me" but more of "best me, less time." When I have been compartmentalizing the "time" I have been thinking about my life in quarters - taking me back to high school basketball.
I have lived through my first, second and now, soon to be approaching my third quarter. I always felt the third quarter in basketball was the most boring quarter. We lost all the momentum with half time, effort and scoring was less and a lot of fans usually left - so the hype was gone. I probably gave up more more than I should have...and I will come clean, probably doing the same thing with this almost third quarter of my life. There is a lot less hoopla and exciting firsts, there is more heartache and sad things that happen, I feel and think more about my mortality and that of my my loved ones and I catch myself becoming more like my parents (which is not a bad thing AT ALL, my younger self swore she would NEVER do that).
But...I know there is a lot of great things that happen and can happen in the approaching third quarter. There is always greatness.
As we are ending 2024, take away all the expectations you have for 2025 and put the expectations on what you are going to do with the with the quarter you are in. It is always a good time to have a foundation of being kind, to others and to yourself. It is always a good time to focus on the health of your body and your mind. AND IT IS ALWAYS a good time to enjoy every nick and cranny of your life - the good, the bad and the ugly. It means you are alive and you are gifted another moment in this game of life.
