And so it begins...



Thanks for the encouragement Boromir!

With January first landing on a Tuesday the rest of the week was an awkward mix of vacation and fresh start.  I was already feeling a bit behind until my buddy Boromir came along.

I picture the last few years like being sick in bed.  The picture in my head is from decades ago when people actually took to their beds when they were ill.  A while ago was like being unconscious, which then progressed to feverish delirium   Last year was truly a new hope for us and was the equivalent of being helped up to a sitting position and being fed spoonfuls of nourishing soup.  Well this year seems to be ripe with encouragement and challenge, like taking first steps after confinement to a bed.  Scary.  Exciting.  Unsure.  Vital.

I'm almost afraid to have goals...make plans.  Last year felt safer, yet this year feels ripe, ready.

Last year, my goals were pretty straight-forward.  This year they seem a little bit slippery but worth going after.

Here are a few goals...just bits really...they are still forming and growing...I'm mostly recording them here so that I can remember...
respond to the first book of Psalms
take up what I was bullied to lay down
crochet a granny square
find joy in cooking
be confident, relaxed and positive
