My Reflection on 2/22/2022

The news called today, "Twosday." That made me smile. Indeed, there won’t be another date made completely of 2's for another 200 years. And wouldn't it be a coincidence if it landed again on a Tuesday?

Days like today snap me into awareness that there is a beautiful geometry to our lives, and a bigger picture that then fits into a grand design. And it reminds me that we are all part of that bigger picture...we are in that picture together. Not as random pixels thrown together haphazardly, as it may appear when we look up close. But points of light placed with intention and care, revealed only when we step back to see and understand from a distance.

So while it can be hard in these current times to trust that things will work out, that the leaps of faith will pan out, and that the work we're putting in will be worth it in the long run, on days like today - 02/22/2022 - I am reminded that it's not about waiting to get the proof upfront before I take action.

It's the other way around.

Through my doing, my daring, my leaping, my believing, and my living, I will discover and prove that it was worth it for myself. My proof, and the creation of my future, is in my doing…my hands.

And just as my ancestors did 200 years ago, and their ancestors did 200 years before them, and so on, I stand at a point of flexion where I, too, can contribute to this grand design and set the tone for my descendants 200 years from now on their own "Twosday."

Remembering that my life is part of something greater.

Remembering that we are all connected and in this together.

Remembering that while it's not just about me, it is about me.

Not waiting on life to be worth it someday. Making life worth it everyday - living life ALIVE!

And choosing to make my unique impact while I'm here.

Making today - the only day I have - the day I make the difference.
