On time.

This year has been filled with many highlights and great memories, but isn't it crazy how quickly this year has gone by?

Already I'm seeing Christmas commercials on TV, major shopping centres are geared for the Christmas shopping and it seems like it was last night that I was counting down the seconds for the new year.

I have always been told, mostly from my father, that I should appreciate my youth and embrace it while I'm living it because when you get to a certain age, time just flies by.

I finally understand what he meant of this.

This will also be a special new year because it is the end of the new millenium. We are almost officially a decade into the 21st century. 

I invite you to think back and remember what you were doing on December 31, 1999.

I don't even remember that New Years Eve, but I do remember all the hype about Y2K. 

10 years later, our computers are fine and we haven't managed to blow ourselves up, a few close calls though I'm sure.

Who would have predicted America would be presided over by an African-American president?

Who would have guessed Michael Jackson would die in only 10 years from then?

Tampa Bay, Anahiem and Carolina would hoist the Stanley Cup?

The Boston Red Sox would break the Great Bambino's curse?

Yes the world of politics, sports and entertainment have all seen great changes, many many more then what I have listed but my point is that time goes by quickly. 

Living for the moment is easier said then done, but when you can capture and grasp a moment, it's almost an out-of-body experience.

If I could pick just one highlight from last year and go back to maybe cherish it better, I would go back to my graduation. 

Graduating school was one of the most rewarding feelings I have ever felt so far in my life. 

That sense of accomplishment is truly undescribable.

As much as time scares me, I also look forward to the future, no pun intended.

10 years from this day, I hope to be settled and comfortable in my career, own my own house and come home each night to a beautiful family.

Where will all of you be in 10 years?

Until next time, love life unconditionally and life will return the favour.
