For weeks I have been mulling over what my word of the year would be. Today a word I hadn't even considered settled in my consciousness and wouldn't leave.
My word for 2023 is begin.
So much has happened in the last three months ~ bronchitis, the holidays, covid again, work drama.
I get caught up in the day to day. Then a week has gone by. Then it's a month later. I'm where I was and not where I want to be.
Leave the "have-to's" and "shoulds" behind. Put aside the worry and self-doubt.
Just begin.
Arrange photos in albums. Create memory books. Send notes. Try recipes. Knit new patterns. Design quilts. Make clothes with patterns new to me. Envision flower gardens. Write poetry.
It's all right there. It's all possible.
Begin.
