The New Year.
2015.
It’s almost unbelievable.
And yet such a great time for
peaceful reflection.
Each year I approach the New
Year differently. It depends what life
has dealt me.
Last year, with 2014 dawning
mere weeks after the tragic loss of Sarah Catherine, I did not have the time or
energy for reflection. 2014 was survival
mode. 2014 was healing. 2014 was taking care of me. 2014 was getting
back to what’s important.
With the “me” focus, I fear
that 2014 was also impatience and irritability and unkindness as well.
But now it’s 2015.
A lot of healing happened in
2014, but there’s still some work to be done.
2015 will be about loving and
patience. But also still standing up for
myself. The “me” focus of 2014 taught me
that. I don’t have to be a people
pleaser all the time. It will upset
people, but it’s okay for me to stand up for myself.
I’m not usually one to set resolutions,
but I’m feeling inspired this year.
Perhaps because most of them are just maintain what’s already in place,
but it works for me.
