The First Day of the Rest of My Life

Today is the first day of October 2024. Where did the time go? Just the other day we were wishing each other a happy new year! Anyway….

The last week of September has been particularly rough, but today, Like David in the Bible, I have woken up, washed my face, eaten some food and I am ready to face the rest of my life, ten toes in.

I am a master planner but then I always talk myself out of my lofty plans.

"You don't have the time."

"What will people say?"

"You don't have the right skills."

"Aren't you too old for that?"

"Nobody cares about your opinions."

"Blogging is a dead art anyway."

"Who do you think you are?"

But, despite the fear, today I have actively chosen to bet on myself. I will feel the fear and do it anyway (cliche, but so true)

I am a photographer who loves writing but somehow since the social media reels and TikTok advent, I have found myself losing touch with the things that I love. I have found myself creating more for the algorithm. Today I claim back who I am at my core. Technology will keep changing and we must adapt, but who we are at the core must be protected.

So today, I am taking time to thank God for the gift of life and deciding to go all in. I will live fully the life that I have been blessed to have.

Cheers to the journey ahead!

Happy New Month
