January 1st - Happy 2023...
New Year’s Day, one of my favorites of the year. I love the fresh start. The reflection and planning. I used to be able to update my calendars, get organized and make my resolutions in one day – now I stretch it out a bit, couple days, week, one year a month-finishing up during a couple of extra days in New York.
I think it is important to take time and remember the completed year. I have a book of highlights by year, giving the year a title. 2022 = Peaks and Valleys – an up, often with a down. I count my many, many blessings. When the years go as fast as they are, it gives me a moment of grounding in what happened when. I take note of what I did do, status of what I didn’t, as I compare to my written goals. I write a recap-which though 2022 was short on achieving my aspirations, there is peace and acceptance.
Then there begins the preparing. My planners tend to prompt me. I am slowing down this evening as I am tired from the working last night. I sense I am going down a similar path and really need to consider, with simplicity, what do I want. How will I feel. A different perspective from a place of the energy I’ve been working on - more presence, faith, belief, certainty - everything is working out. I am meditating on my word for 2023, leaning towards ‘wholeness’. So more to do tomorrow – vision board, goal setting, dialogue. Then start working the plan.
A pause, a reset – what we write down, put out to the universe, matters.
Hmmm, we start anew, again…day 164!
Thank you if you choose to join the journey. Let's hope it is more fun than tears!
