On Being Tender

[zenheart]

Originally, I was going to call this entry "Two Weeks Notice" and give 2007 the kick it so richly deserves out the door. But I've been thinking about that for the past few days and decided I didn't want to be that angry, bitter person any more. 2007 has been rough - broken ankle, grad school issues, family issues, being coerced into living

TWO PEAS IN A POD!

I am really amazed at the similarities of our lives and thoughts and intentions. I feel like we are kindred spirits and it feels really good to know that there are people out there that think like me. You read my mind. I even went on and on to people about not making resolutions this year. Intentions! What a great idea! Thanks for this Kathy.

Being kind to oneself is really something I should try my hand at too. I actually did one of my resolutions last year: finish the diss, so I'm going to try to tackle another big one this year: lose 50 pounds.

And then there are my intentions:
Take more risks
Take more pride in my accomplishments
Draw every day.

Wishing the 2008 you deserve (which is awesome, btw).

What a fabulous place! You're fortunate to live near it. And, good, I'm glad you're being kind to yourself. You deserve it.

As for next year, we'll be further south for the first two months; we're going to Florida in our trailer again. One thing I plan on doing there is finishing my scuba diving certification.

The only other thing I've been working on is to (speaking of zen) to just be more in the moment, without anxiety for what may come. I suppose meditation would help that, wouldn't it?

Happy holidays!

I have similar "intentions", like owning my creative abilities instead of denying them in public, being more true to myself and less of what is expected of me. And I am so envious of where you are physically right now, what a beautiful spot, mentally and physically.

Great resolutions... and I know you can make it work!
