Blessed New Year, sweetlings! I hope the first three weeks of the new year have been kind to you all. The first two weeks were rough here, but it seems we're on the up and up. The Toddler contracted RSV and passed it on to the Little Lady, then on to me, so it was a lot of coughing, crying, Motrin, nebulizer treatments, late nights, and naps. The Toddler is a hellion when it comes to taking any kind of medicine (he punches, kicks, and spits it all out), but we were able to figure out that putting little bits on a spoon at a time really helps him. So.. yay.. ?
Lately I've been thinking a lot about resolutions. Now, regardless of which category you find yourself in, whether yay or nay, I think there is something promising in setting resolutions for the new year. I tend to think of resolutions as goals and aspirations. Sometimes, especially when I've hit a rough patch, they can be anchors or ways to bring back some focus when I'm feeling undone by the chaos of life. They give me hope. And the Gods know how crazy the last few years have been. A little hope can go a long way. I think the best part though is that resolutions don't have to be massive goals or demonstrations. They can be simple and heartfelt and only matter to you.
I'm still in the process of working on mine. But here are a few I'd like to share :
- Blog a few times a month
- Get back into reading Tarot & Oracle cards
- Read at least one book a month
- Adopt a more heart healthy diet (I have a couple of heart issues that aren't problematic right now, but could become so in a few years if I'm not careful)
- Clean up the altar once a week and put out offerings
- Write in my grimoires (Moira & Allora), even if it's not "perfect"
