as the new year approaches {in roughly 30 minutes},
i have been thinking a lot about what's in store for 2011.
planning and dreaming about what it is that i want
for myself, for my family and for tenthings.
for myself i want happiness and stability.
for my family i want happiness and security.
for tenthings. i want success and growth.
at the moment things are 'up in the air',
somewhat uncertain.
i am adjusting to some big changes.
i know, change is good,
but for me there is always that element of fear.
i just want to be there already.
the unknown is scary.
the unknown is scary.
i'm in a place that's different from where i've ever been before.
i have been re-acting to these uncertainties with fear.
this is such a contrast from how i usually behave.
i can tell you, this place, this fear, is not for me.
lately, i have been reading a lot.
trying to understand and deal with these feelings.
trying to understand and deal with these feelings.
i have decided
{though, i'm still not 100% there}
{though, i'm still not 100% there}
that i am going to resolve to be fearless this year,
fearless not being without fear,
but being with less fear...i.e. fear-less.
and it's funny that while this is a word
i have decided to adopt this new year,
it also seems to be a running theme
in recent magazines i've picked up,
so obviously,
in fear, i am not alone.
hopefully, those that are with me,
will also choose to be fear-less.
i like this quote and have adopted it as my mantra:
"year to year is unclear,
but day to day we find our way"
but day to day we find our way"
i believe fear-less-ly i will find my 'new' way.
happy new year 2011!
i'm looking forward to meeting you.
