Along with 250-some words to make haikus, I have this quote on a magnet on my fridge:
LIFE ISN'T ABOUT
FINDING YOURSELF.
LIFE IS ABOUT
CREATING
YOURSELF.
For so long now I've been talking about needing to rediscover myself, however cliche (I know) that sounds. But when I saw this magnet in Barnes & Noble last week, a few days before New Year's Day (I'm a sucker for the new starts), I felt a realization and knew I had to see this in front of me every day. I know I have to accept the changes I have made in my life, good and bad, and forgive myself for mistakes. I can't keep wishing to be the person I was before I had lived enough of my life to really screw up---And like some wise friends of mine have been saying since the new year began, every day is a new start. I can do what I can to continually create the person I am, to focus on good.
