the light

waiting for the light of morning

to show itself

I will be distracted by something else

and suddenly it will be there

and I'll smile

and open my blinds

to let it in

Curiousity

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

2021 moves on to 2022

 WOW...seeing the year 2022.... I feel like I'm in one of those movies about the future I watched as a kid...the only thing is that although I am in the future, its not the future with the hover cars, the jet back- packs or ray guns, or the instant food that you ask for from the machine in the wall...its the world in the middle of a pandemic with a virus that is going to be with us or a long time...but then again, this is definitely one version of the future that science fiction movies have given us.

  what to say now for my kick out the old and embrace the new post 

 In some ways 2021 was better than 2020.  I found a new practitioner who has been helping with my neck issues. I had a visit with family members from afar which was lovely. 

 I'm not going to lie, the end of 2021 kind of kicked me in the gut, leading to the start of what is supposed to be a new year, but is just more of the end of 2021. We had a week and a half off of work which was lovely and quiet for the first week, but than my body showed its signs of stress  about going back to work amidst this damn virus.  Just when I think I have got to a level of  surviving with this new way of life, something happens that flares up the stress.  I know we are all going through versions of this and I just want to let you know I am sending you virtual hugs.

  what I want to do in 2022

 more art - I definitely want to take more time to paint and sketch....I just turned 56 so I am  doing 56 days of creativity...with no pressure, just for fun...

 website - play around and get my website to where and what I want it to be. I'd love any suggestions you might have about what you want to see

 explore - I am kind of bored with my neighbourhood, but I do see interesting things pretty much every time I'm out exploring...perhaps I'll have to expand my walks to new neighbourhoods....hmmmmmm, something to think about

 relax - I really need to work on my being able to just settle and relax...I've always been a bit of a tightly wound person, always moving around...and even when I do sit down I'm not fully relaxed...will try and find a meditation practice that suits me....

 There are a ton of things I'd like to do this year, but I will take it day by day, week by week, and see how it goes....

 My hope for all of you this year is to have peace, love, hope and to be kind! 

  Hugs, Suzanne
