Like many thousands across the globe, I woke up to a whole
new year. I wonder what it will bring
but I won’t wonder too much. I stopped
making resolutions a long time ago.
Instead, I set goals and take steps to achieve them. I don’t spend much time in review any more, I
find living through some things once is more than enough. I don’t take much time to sit in regret
because I now trust myself more than any one and know that at any given moment
in time, I did the absolute best that I could and things turned out exactly the
way they were supposed to.
It has been so very quiet inside of my head for so long
now. It feels as if I were a ship with
seas so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
No wind for my sails for a prolonged period gave me much time to just
feel and be, rather than do and go. I’ve
not created much in a while, hardly a posting.
It troubled me briefly until I began to truly understand that it was not
a lack in connection I suffered but a time of being fully connected to
experiencing everything from an ever-expanding perspective and on each
experiences’ own terms.
I won’t waste time in sorrow over anything in the last year
that has come and gone. All came
perfectly; all went perfectly. I do
appreciate discovering lessons and I learned once again, my strength flourished in abundance in many appreciated and
unexpected ways. So, thank you Universe,
Mother-Father God Goddess for the opportunity to be and breathe and exist here
in this frame.
Life is fairly simple when we are not over-complicating it with
expectation. I spent the year living in
a state of non-expectation. I have to
say, my last year went better than most I can remember. I kept my consciousness close to the moment,
mastered some fears and realized I had more I would contend with in time. I discovered I had great love for many a
thing and patience as vast as the Universe.
I was tired at year’s end so took some time off for
rest. That was a very good decision, I
think. This next year will be very busy
at work and I have new goals to work on for no other reason than to improve
upon my surrounds and greater appreciation for being. I’ll let go some more
of the past that I’ve carried and embrace the empty spaces left behind with
much love, wonder and excitement for life.
So, another year on planet Earth is complete. I hope to take the magic and wishes of the
holidays with me through each day of this next year. I’ve never really tried that before but it
seems like this next year will need a little more magic than most and perhaps
it’ll show us a bit of its own. I smile
at the thought and let it go with a warm and delicious sip of coffee on this
cool, dark and quiet January 1.
I hope that you have a heart full of dreams, a mind filled
with wonder and a sense of great peace about you every day of this next
year. Make it amazing with your ab-soul-ute best
effort in every moment. When this time
next year comes around, you’ll be glad that you did for no other reason than a string of truly treasured experiences.
Wishing you great flows of beautiful energy, Blessings and much love.
Jaie
