Well, it’s that time of year again…paigegreen2014paigegreenAOCSF082014-017-1

Meaning it’s time to dig through the memories of last year…

paigegreen2014544A6781

Pull out the highlights…

paigegreen2014000059570002

And make big plans for the coming year…

paigegreen201406042014june_44A0021

Thing is, I have been chasing big plans for the past 15 years…

Finding a job turned into building a career…

Six years of saying, “my boyfriend Arann,” turned into five years of saying, “my husband Arann…”

One great dog love was lost and another amazing dog love was found…

Paying the rent turned into paying the mortgage…

And two people became four…

So now that all the important life boxes have been checked…

I have a lot of brain space that is available for rent…

But instead of searching for the next big thing…

I would rather slow life down…

And celebrate how amazing things are right now…

Because the most important lesson I learned from 2014…

paigegreen2014000059570006

Is that life does not always go as you planned…

paigegreen-maine-000086570001

And it all can change so fast without any warning

So in 2015, I am looking for more of this…
