"Life is for living, so get on with it"
I read this headline off a newspaper encrusted with ice , a few minutes ago (Yes, I am back in Montreal) as I walked back from Becky's house. Of course, it was too dark to read the article. It always is.
I can't help thinking that this headline was meant for me. I've been spending way too much time engrossed in unimportant things lately. I need to "get on with it", at least that's the way it seems.
Disappointment has been the name of the game in the past month. Disappointing events have been happening time and time again. Obviously, the only person worthy of such disappointment is myself. I've spent too much time being disappointed, and not enough time acting on these feelings.
I've been scared to admit my disappoint me to my friends. Because of this fear, I've also felt more alone than ever. I've been afraid of living and I need a second chance.
That reminds me of Easter. Today is the day that Jesus rose again. He promised a new life for anyone willing to follow him. He has promised me a new life.
Spring is in the air, isn't it? I mean, there is still ten-foot piles of snow and icicles hanging from every roof, but Spring has still sprung. The quiet whispers of forgotten warmth and new life lingers in the freezing wind. (Why is the wind so frigid?)
My birthday is only months away. My sixteenth will be so sweet, I can smell it. The only thing I must change before then is my life. I must begin a quest to change my life. To Live My Life.
It seems possible, perhaps even plausible. After all, I've been changing my life since the day I was born. All I have to do think, believe and act.
Get Ready, World. The rest of my life begins today.
Why don't you live too? We can change our lives together. We can change the world together.

And think I met you before you conquered the world! So it was only one meeting, but you were very well spoken. Veni, vidi, vici!
Tolstoy said "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." Meg got the order exactly right! You go, Meg!
From Caesar to Tolstoy to S-u-z-a-n-n-e(!)..."Go MAD" Meg!
When *you* Make A Difference in my world it influences people in North Carolina and when *I* go MAD in your world - Montreal gets blessed! It's fun to go MAD together!
