I imagine within any life there’s a string of similar realizations happening for most of us.  For some, it happens early in life.  It took me 27 years to realize (or simply remember) that life isn’t what’s going to happen to me.My life is not what’s going to happen when I make more money, or when I travel, or find someone.

My life is tonight, it’s right now. It’s my job and my friends.  It’s playing pool at the Page for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon.  It’s watching Dark City until 1am.  It’s waking up at 6:30 in the morning, checking my email, and starting work from bed.  It’s the sink in my bathroom that reminds me of the inside of my colon.  It’s the awkward moments when the toilet seat cover falls in right when I’m about to sit down.  It’s the bus rides filled with familiar strangers.  It’s the ‘Good Mornings’ and the ‘Thank Yous’ to people I don’t know.

It’s time to look at all that and decide if it’s what I want for my life.  If not, what do I change?
