			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>it&#8217;s the last year of the world! Isn&#8217;t that exciting? The world as we know, is supposed to end this year.</p>
<p>What a spectacular opportunity!</p>
<p>This, the last year of our lives. If this means so much, shouldn&#8217;t we do something really special? Shouldn&#8217;t we embrace every moment as it is now so very precious. When the end is known, it changes everything. Doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Only 525,600 minutes. That&#8217;s all you have. It&#8217;s all I have. At best, right?</p>
<p>Shouldn&#8217;t you and I make the best of those precious minutes?</p>
<p>They&#8217;re ticking down right now. If you&#8217;ve gotten here, you&#8217;ve just used one.</p>
<p>What will YOU do about it?</p>
<p>What will I do about it?</p>
<p>And to think that some of us won&#8217;t even get that much. Wouldn&#8217;t that make them all the more precious?</p>
<p>When people become aware of their end, they (usually) go through a quick adjustment period, and then they begin to live. Really live. Not wasting those precious moments on the unimportant. Not wasting their time on people and things that waste themselves away.</p>
<p>Life is fleeting, and so very precious. The Universe wants us to live our lives to the fullest.</p>
<p>Do so.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>… the next year. Wasn&#8217;t sure if we&#8217;d make it or not. What I see coming, I&#8217;m still not sure…</p>
<p>Stability in life has its merits, for certain. I recently read of a couple that lives in an RV, roaming the Arizona desert in the summer and the Oregon coast in the winter.</p>
<p>A better existence, I&#8217;m having a hard time imagining. No debt, chosen scenery, friends and family almost on demand. You can&#8217;t own a lot of &#8220;stuff&#8221; which suits me right to the core. If the internet stays viable and free(ish) then you can connect to almost anything anywhere anytime. If you need it, your job can travel with you.</p>
<p>The stability is in the couple, not the place, or the stuff, or many other things the bulk of humanity considers a &#8220;must have.&#8221; This is a lesson I have only recently learned, despite a long time in the classroom.</p>
<p>We shall see what the new year brings. I think I&#8217;m actually looking forward to it.</p>

<p>I need more change, I can tell right now!</p>
