Well, here we are in 2012.
*Deep breath* and sound of glee.
I promised myself that I would reflect privately on last year and I have and that I would refrain from making sweeping declarations and proclamations about this year. So, you won't find much in the way of hard-core reflection here. However, I would kinda like to share where I am at, so to speak.
One of my favorite bloggers said, she was hoping for a small year and I concur. That is not to say that I don't want lots of good things to happen because I do.But I am going to stop pushing to make it. For one thing, I am not even sure what "make it means" and another it's just too exhausting.
Last year was the year of the great failures (and some successes). What I mean everything was mushy and confusing. So many wrong paths, too many sad songs. And that's okay. There are so many new opportunities and avenues to explore and that is wonderful. I plan on exploring away.I'm just not trying to make any particular one the center of my world. Some people would call this plain lazy or maybe non-attachment. Whatever, you label it. I am just easing into the year.
Happy week!
Oddly, I find myself hoping for a big year in some ways. There are projects I want to complete, and I hope each of them brings me very good things.
ReplyDeleteI think you have the right idea, Keishua, I really do. I actually received the book The Four Agreements this Christmas. Have you heard of it? It's based on Toltec wisdom (a tribe from Mexico) and is basically four very basic principles we should try to follow in our lives. This stood out to me this morning and I thought it was fitting: "Just do your best--in any circumstance in your life. It doesn't matter if you are sick or tired, if you always do your best there is no way you can judge yourself. And if you don't judge yourself there is no way you are going to suffer from guilt, blame, and self-punishment. By always doing your best, you will break a big spell that you have been under."Here's to a happy and healthy 2012. Hope it's a beautiful year for you. XOXO
ReplyDeleteI also kept my reflections of 2011 to myself. I wrote a new blog post last night about the changes I'm making in this new year. One of which is not make any big resolutions bc I don't believe in resolutions. I believe in making goals. I don't have any grand plan or hope for huge things to happen. I just want to live quietly and happily and enjoy each moment without focusing on accomplishing a whole. Just want to go with the flow. Happy new Year to you, Keishua! :)
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you, Keishua, and that 2012 is a great year so far :)
ReplyDeleteI like that you're taking things easy this year. I'm doing the opposite for some reason, I've started the year with a billion things to complete. I think as I get older and hear the clock ticking, I panic. However, I should spend some time and just enjoy life.
