New Decade

Hello 60… 60’s! I am officially starting a new decade, just in the nick of time. The 50’s started so promising, yearlong, multiple celebrations; girl’s trip, wine country, party cruise, decorated office – good times, great memories! Coming off my favorite decade of the 40’s and all its positive momentum. But to suggest a change of wind would be a bit of an understatement – there was another plan that included growth, development, darkness, challenges, endings/beginnings as such.

Now, time feels right to hit refresh and simply put energy towards a shift that takes all the lessons and gifts of 50’s, come into the light and manifest a new decade following the light, maybe even a bit of 40’s on steroids I’ve been saying. In my planner I wrote, A decade of significance; give, teach, integrity, character… A decade of fulling potential in Christ (my perfection is God’s will). Sounds good.

I do believe that each decade does have a theme related to it. With a husband 8 years older, I get a peek at what theme may be coming. For him at least, the 60’s is one of ‘speaking up/out’, he really has no filter on what he wants to say and when. This might not be what I am comfortable with for myself. I would like to speak up/out, but without filter… not so sure, yet.

Happy birthday to my newest decade!
