Bree,
As I am wont to do these days at work, I spent some bored moments taking in the latest from SAB. Regarding your self-flagellation about not doing enough these days, let us put this into some perspective...
So it takes you a year of your life to figure out what you want to do and attempt some new endeavors...that is a mere 365 days out of the probable 30,000 days you will live in your life. (I'm assuming you at LEAST make the ripe age of 80). That is a mere 1.2% of all the days you will live. One point two percent! If you draw the analogy of your entire life lasting only one hour, the portion you are spending on this time in your life is little more than 40 seconds. A blip. Nada. Nothing for a process that holds so much potential. Imagine if you were spending this time in a poorly climate controlled building working a pointless, soul crushing job. Que terrible!
Plus, you have accomplished at least all of the following since I have known you:
- Purchased snappy automobile
- Formed meaningful relationship with Sugar Dog (Juice Newton)
- Moved from merciless New York to Aurora, Colorado
- Moved from Saudi Aurora to welcoming, park-side apartment in Denver
- Moved from welcoming, park-side apartment to fabulous house (which you own)
- Hosted a party dedicated to cured meat
- Traveled to Argentina
- Skied numerous days under brilliant sunshine (as well as zero visibility)
- Worked for a wine bar
- Determined you did not want to own a wine bar
- Determined that you did want to make a go of design consultancy
- Assisted in sprucing up the Park Hill 'hood by decorating part of my house (I still owe you some money, figure it out)
- Hosted the family on your turf
- Survived the blizzard of 2006
- Witnessed Miami Vice on the big screen
- Been a catalyst to your friends for dinners at cool places like Frasca
- Met someone who could be a really cool addition to your life (Me excluded of course, I'm leaving. I'm talking about Darth.)
