How do you measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee...
In pictures, in miles, in laughter, in strife...
Those words to the Rent song have me thinking... how do I measure a year--this year?
I think I will measure this year by thinking of the amount of time I spent looking at the stars, the amount of time I spent laughing with friends and family, and by the amount of time I spent enoying life.
I will not measure it with my failures, but with my accomplishments. I will not measure it with my tears, but with my laughter. I will not measure it with have nots, should nots, or would haves, but with dids and haves.
Here's to 2009! Hope your next 525,600 minutes are blessed!
Happy New Year!
