The Write Time

Apart from work, it's been hard putting pen to paper of late. Words elude me before I find a moment to put it all down. A rush of thoughts often assail me at the most inopportune time. When I'm brushing my teeth, taking a shower, in the car, slicing up vegetables.

The new year hardly feels like the fresh start I would have awaited with eager anticipation in times past. I've made no new year's resolutions this year. I haven't dreamed up grand plans for what I'd like to achieve this year. I don't have a vision of where I'd like to be at the end of 2008.

Stepping well and truly into adulthood, perhaps I've lost some of that youthful idealism, that naivete. Not cynical, not bitter. Just that I'm finally honest enough to admit that there are many times which I simply don't know. Don't know where things are going, which path I will find myself on at the end of the road. And I will neither presume to know, nor set myself upon a course from which I shall have to beat a hasty retreat.

But the one hope that I hold, tomorrow is a new day.I have another opportunity to explore, find out, discover in Him and in myself, things I never knew about.

So let it be.
