Today is the first day of this blog, and so it is appropriate that we consider that today is the first day of the rest of our lives. Today we focus on not only a beginning, but also that we have a lot of time in front of us that we must take care of. Consider that you are in a raw new world, with no one in it but you. All you have to do is create; set a standard for the rest of time. What kind of standard will you set? Your legacy for the rest of not only your life, but every life you create will be born from this first day. Be careful with your new world! Take some time to consider what you want to populate this fresh place. Create beautiful things, like fresh flowers, books full of wisdom and philosophy, and art that moves you. You could literally procure these things for your home, or you could create a mental retreat to come back to when you feel yourself needing to get away. Give your place a name that you can write, post, paint, or say out loud or to yourself to retain the mood of "new" whenever you need it.
This is a good opportunity to clean up some leftover clutter. Even if you have to pile things haphazardly in some old paper bags, get rid of the old legacy from that stranger that inhabited this place before you. You are the new guard, the new authority, the new creator. But don't obsess over cleaning your space. Choose one thing (I am choosing my desk) and get on with your day of making a difference, working, and taking care of yourself and your loved ones.
