Well, another new year is upon us - it will be here in a matter of just days now! In anticipation of 2014 and all it will bring, I'm spending a little time looking back at 2013 to see what I will try and do, and to do differently, in the new year ahead.
As always, I will strive to be more patient and more giving. I think the thing I regret most in 2013 was treating people I love with less patience than I should have. Once something is done it is too late to take it back. Patience and tolerance are things I think I will always be working on within myself. I think this year I will also try to be more patient with and tolerant of myself. Other people give me the benefit of their patience and tolerance - so why should I treat myself with anything less?
I wonder: What kind of place would this world be, if we learned how to treat ourselves well, and then strove to treat others with that same amount of love and respect?
I am working to change things - how I do things, how I see things... about myself and about other people. I will try to love myself more - and to love myself for who I am and not for who I think I should be. I will continue to set goals for myself - physical, emotional, financial and spiritual. I would like to take a course or perhaps attend some sort of seminar... I'm just not sure what at this point. Practically speaking, I should look at taking something that will allow me to work on my home - maybe some sort of course on wiring or construction... I'm just not certain what at this time. The beauty of today is that I have a whole year to plan for. A whole year of days to look forward to.
I cried less, and laughed more in 2013. That is a good thing. I want to laugh even more in 2014. I want to feel a small gem of joy every day. I want to look forward not only to the big days, but to the small ones as well.
It is time. Time to pull out the red pen and the good paper. Time to write out my intentions for 2014.
With love across the waters...
