2020 Personal Note:
(Cheesy image share with this random cute dog meme)
Not one of my best photos, but oh well…
I told you that it could be a while before I blog when I last posted (on the 22nd). I really needed a break from all things and to submerge in family and the holiday season. Today is my first official day back.
I (we) have 363 new days to create, live, love, and move forward, and set reading challenges. (mine are on Good Reads) I set a goal that is somewhat ambitious for me, but have decided to keep the number. Even if I don’t make that goal, I will work harder in my efforts. (Hopefully) personally, I struggle with reading when I am creating. But that’s another topic for another day.
Do you make resolutions? I do not. IMO Resolutions can become albatrosses that cause us to miss out on the best moments we weren’t expecting. I say this from the experience of my last three years of change and challenges.
If I have anything at all of importance to say to you this new year it is to share these words from the Dali Lama. ⤵️
