Happy New Year, friend!! I hope this year be all that is good and fulfilling in whatever way that looks for you.
Isn’t a brand new year always exciting? A new opportunity, a clean slate, a fresh start. I don’t do new year resolutions, but I always look for something to focus my year on. I use a word or a phrase and write it down in my bullet journal as a reminder. I began doing this a few years ago and I can’t tell you how many times during the year I feel prompted to refocus just because I wrote my intention down.
2018 was a tough year for us as a family. But also, so many parts were so good and meaningful and deep. We dealt with some serious health crises but we made it across to the other side, for which we are immensely grateful.
The past year taught us so many things about ourselves as a family, as unique individuals and also what it means to do life with community. I wouldn’t trade any of the wobbly, bumpy experiences for a pinterest-perfect life.
2019. I wish that it is filled with lots of treasured moments for all of us. Embracing full on, the simple things. Experiencing the joy of just. plain. ordinary.
