A New Year
This past year was "Shining Year" which was about my accepting and reveling in myself. It was all about not putting up road blocks in front of my dreams and making peace with where I am right now on the journey towards them. Stopping the self sabotage (I haven't completely mastered that but I've made progress) and not holding back.
I've been able to take my dreams seriously and to not sabotage them (well, not completely). I've stopped apologizing for the things I am good at or for trying to do well. What I'm not doing is giving myself over to my dreams and the small things that build them.
This will be the Year of Enthusiasms. I will follow my whims and give myself over to the seemingly random obsessions that hit me. I will encourage other people on their whims and tag along when it seems like it might be fun. "That's stupid" will no longer be allowed to pass my lips and will be chased from my head should it make an appearance. I will find the time for these things - especially the "unproductive" ones. I will revel in being bad at things that interest me and will not allow myself to be embarrassed about it or chastised to be "sensible". I've got 35 years of being "sensible" - I can handle a year of being less of it.
