43

My first post about 43 was all about the pandemic.

That doesn’t feel like what I want to write for this 1st day of year 43.

Life feels overwhelming most days. Normal isn’t normal.

I’m not sure what I want for this year.

I feel a bit more clear about what I don’t want.

Maybe that is the same thing.

I want more slow.

I want less social media.

I want more time spent with hand work and crafts.

I want less time spent with a screen.

I want more time focused on my family.

I want less worry and stress.

I want more peace and calm.

I want more stretching and deep breaths.

I want less clutter.

I want to learn to drink tea and write in a journal daily.

I want to learn to make gluten-free pasta.

I want to pray and meditate.

I want to be a morning person again.

Maybe this is a starting point for year 43. It isn’t everything but it is something. It’s a place to start and for today, it feels like more than enough.
