Can't say I am upset that this year has come to its end. Am ready for a new beginning even thought it is really just a continuation. Thankful for all the plans I put in place as it provided the necessary interruption and break from everyday life.
Next year's broad stroke themes are in place. Have a ways to go still but feeling like I'm slowly getting caught up, with myself and with life. Thankful to be at a point in time where I am towards the end of my career and can afford to slow down.
The breakthrough being no longer feeling guilty about it. Will be taking almost the entire month of February off, something I've been wanting to do for decades.
Will continue to be patient and gentle with myself. With no real ambitious or difficult plans (still lots of travel) until the thought of them doesn't immediately exhaust.
Wishing Peace and Ease to everyone.
