Happy New Year to you all. How you’ve missed me! And how I have missed YOU 🙂
I am looking forward to the new year filled (not fraught) with endless possibility. Unicorns, rainbows and the like.
At 11:59pm on New Year’s Eve I opened up my front door to clear the way for a fresh, untainted new year. Like vitamins and God, superstitions can’t hurt. You know, just in case. It was a cold night but beauty is pain.
While I still have a few things from the old year needing my attention and care I am quite ready to embrace the new.
I am decluttering, planning and organizing. It’s slow going on some days but that is still the goal. I will be back to volunteering at the food pantry by the end of this month. Wrapping up correspondence. Have booked a couple of plays I am eagerly anticipating. I hope to get on the open road (or in the friendly skies) for some travel. Maybe one day sit in the middle of a bird migration. Be mindful of how I can continue to advocate for those suffering in other countries while actual governments are looking the other way. Deep dive research on all the politicians (local, state and country) who are supposed to represent me/us. Catch up with some old friends. Try something new. Spend time with family. Read lots of books. Have some rooms painted and replace pieces of furniture I don’t like-or never liked-it’s time. Complete Hannah’s scrapbook (she’s now twenty-five) that I quit working on somewhere around her eighth year of school.
Hopefully, I haven’t taken on more than I can handle. With the scrapbook 🙂
I am sharing these goals so they fly out into the universe. Chances for success are greater if I release them from the matted gray matter.
I’ll keep you posted.
Until then, I wish you all good health for the new year. Anything after that is gravy.
