I’ve often immersed myself in quite complex end-of-the-year/beginning-of-the-year rituals to set intentions or goals or unravel the future. Sometimes that was helpful, sometimes more like a chore. This year, thanks to the Christmas crud HH and I caught, I was too sick to ponder much. And when I was feeling better, I spent my time poring over companion planting charts. (Still not quite done…)
I have, however, really enjoyed reading the compilation of resolutions from the newsletter “Brainpickings” – highly recommended for deep insights and deeper sighs.
As for myself, this year, I want to focus on my garden, on planting and growing and breathing. I always want to be kind, I strive to be patient, and I deeply desire to feel more grounded in the moment. Be now, and not let my anxious thoughts spoil my experience of being now and being alive.
