2014 came in quietly, with my little family fast asleep. I stayed up as usual and enjoyed a little alone time, sewing, reflecting on the past year, and thinking about the upcoming one. I am not one for resolutions but I did think about what I might want to do in 2014. One trend is picking a word and making that your word for the new year. I liked that idea and actually came up with three.
Still.
Simple.
Content.
Sometimes I feel like life goes by a mile a minute. Busy, busy, busy. We squeeze as much as we can into each day. Go like the energizer bunny. Sometimes, busyness is necessary. I get that. Like it even. As I get older, I realize how necessary it is for down time. Alone time. Time to recharge. Reenergize. Time to just be still. Rest. Recuperate. Be still. I know I need it, so I am hoping to make it more of a priority.
Keep it simple. Enough said.
It is so easy in this day and age to get caught up in the desire for more. The biggest house, the newest car, the latest technology. I always count my blessings, but lately, I have been counting them even more. I hope to hang on to this feeling of contentment and carry it with me through 2014.
I also hope to update this little internet space of mine regularly. Just to record life. The funny things the kids say or do. The sayings that really speak to me. Hopefully, since I am keeping things simple, there will be time to do so. :)
Wishing all my loved ones a very blessed and happy New Year.
