HELLO 2018 -and Good
Bye 2017, you sure zoomed right on past!
I blinked and WOW, a whole year went
by. That old notion of time passing in proportion to the whole of your existence,
sure seems accurate to me. I have no doubt time is merely a human construct and
totally relative. Hmmm…. Now can I leverage that next time I happen to be a bit
late –‘cause you know that is going to happen at some point. (Aside –check out
this What But Why’s post on lateness. I just adore this site)
Ok now back to my
post, oh yes, 2018. I think 2018 is going to be an AMAZING year for me and to
honor that exclamation, my word, drumroll
please, is CELEBRATION!!! Usually I ruminate a great deal about my word.
Usually there ends up being about six or seven contenders and they have to duke
it out and then I am mentally and emotionally exhausted from the brain battle.
But not this year!
2018 will be a yearlong celebration! We are talking
P-A-R-T-Y, balloons and banners, champagne and fireworks! Well, maybe not
always that literal, but it is the attitude I hope to cultivate. One of abundance
and joy. I plan to reward myself for small victories and the progress I make
along the way, regardless how silly or inconsequential it may seem!
What is your word for the year? How do you plan to incorporate
it in to your life? I hope to share some of the ways I intend to include the
concept of celebration in my life, particularly through my art in my art
journal. I have several partially completed journals and my mini-goal is to
complete them all before 2019 comes around. It is a rather ambitious task, but
I am super excited to get started!
