A fresh dawn.  A new year.  A new decade.  A new moon.  Kiss 2009 goodbye, farewell.

I welcome this day and decade with open arms and a surprising thirst for firsts.

Having reflected on the past year and decade, and considered plans for the coming ones, I figured it’s time to focus on the present.  Just be.  Think, Act and Be in the present.

I was casually reading a local newspaper yesterday, and one word seemed to jump off the page:  Jazzercise.  A few words later, and I was pondering taking a Jazzercise class for free, at eleven on the morning of New Year’s Day.  The biggest challenge:  could I actually get my butt to a class on the morning after New Year’s eve?

So, guess what?  There I was, just a few hours ago, Jazzercising my way through Day One of TwentyTen, and it felt great.  Pretty funny.  Here’s to firsts.  Go get ‘em.
