Well folks........we made it through another year. Hard to believe that in a few short hours it will be a whole new year. Here's to hoping that things are a hell of a lot better for everyone. I know lots of folks just had a rough year and can't wait for it to be over.
I've been looking at some of the new year forecasts for Scorpio and they all look positive so far. Many of them are saying it is my year! That it will be a lucky year. Some are saying I will start off the year being introspective, which really seems appropriate since I have had that go inward feeling. Been thinking about a lot of things like why I feel the way I do about certain things and people, certain events. I've been wondering why I can't remember certain things that happened. What I want for myself in the new year. What I want to accomplish. What I want to let go of. What I want to release me.
Since my last post, I have been going over in my head what my word of the year would be. I was open to the possibility of more than one word. I was willing to settle on the word ENOUGH. But just as I was coming to that decision, I started to feel like it was wrong. Not that it isn't a good word or good choice, because it would be appropriate. It just felt like it was supposed to be another word.
The last day or so, the word SELF kept coming to me. And that seems more like it. I have struggled so much with Self-love, Self-care, Self-acceptance. I feel like I need this year to be a Self-ish year, to make it all about me. What do I want? What makes me happy? What do I want more of? Less of?
I don't want another year of wishing I had done this or that. I am already going to miss out on many of the classes I want to take this year because I don't have the money to do them. I wanted to do Book of Days and Moonshine with Effy Wild, I wanted to do LifeBook with Willowing. I wanted to do Pull Pen Paint. And Wanderlust. And and and and so many others. And those are just the art classes I wanted to do!
Well I can either spend my days crying over what I am missing out on or I can be productive. Utilize free classes and YouTube. I can work on Effy's Bootcamp and go through BOD 2017 which I had via a scholarship. I can do 85k90 for writing as well as Camp NaNo, and of course NaNo in November. I can do the free challenges like 52 photos. Or a year of granny squares. I'm trying to find the positive instead of focusing on what I think I am missing out on. I want 2018 to be a year of doing, seeing, learning, growing, loving. I want it to be an action year! I don't want to be posting here a year from now and saying all the shit I didn't do (again).
As of this moment, in my corner of the woods, we are 7 hours and 55 minutes from the new year. That is 12 new chapters, 365 new pages in this story of life. Let's make them good ones!
Happy New Year!!!
