2010

I love watching movies. I especially like the scenes where a group of people are traversing rugged terrain, making it to the highest point to look out on the plains with the sun providing a backdrop to a land that they can now see and must conquer. As 2009 has ended and I'm standing on top of the hill looking into 2010, I wonder to myself what my report will be of the year that is coming. The land looks different to me. It does not look similar to anything that I've seen before. I am in a place in my life that I've not been before, and even though familiarity can be stale and unchanging, most times it is rather comfortable. Change; real change is not, is not comfortable that is. Because, everything that was done before to get to the hill seems to have only prepared you to get to the hill. The land that sits before my eyes is new and requires a different type of survival gear. For the first time in my life, I am not walking alone. I have someone there who genuinely wants to help me. I find the man that I was before slowly evaporating into the man that I need to be to be a success in 2010. It is daunting, but not impossible, new but refreshing, comfortable when thought unfamiliar, and serene despite external chaos.
