Another Year

As the long days faded away and the leaves changed so did my energy levels. I missed the lazy days of summer, and weekends spent with friends at the lake. I killed it at work, traveled for conferences, ran P.L.'s, piloted a new program, then came up exhausted and weary. Hence the end of the weekly poetry/haiku/photo posts.

Once again I am seeking balance, a balance I can maintain throughout all seasons and cycles. 30 came and went, as did Christmas. Now here we are in the dead heart of winter when my strength is needed most. Once Christmas is over snow is no longer magical, just a constant reminder that the dark season in the north has only just begun. Thank goodness I have the Cuban sun to look forward to and boost that vitamin D, I think winter holidays are going to be an annual must from now on.

I was trying to avoid resolutions but I have an innate need to better myself, no matter how the small the steps. When I think about my challenges and where I want to head in life my goals are small, and I really just crave happiness and balance. Here are my little happiness goals...

1. Explore the concept to Hygge this winter & soak up that winter sun when I can
2. Continue writing via blogging, poetry, journal
3. Explore mindfulness further & grow yoga moves
4. Explore new trails/camp spots with my pup
5. Take more photos, explore new subject matter
**6. I have a secret little project I have been dying to do, I am committing to taking the first few steps but not yet revealing what it will be.

Stay tuned & stay grounded xo
