at the start of 2007, i wrote an entry about how new years eve celebrations and the start of a new year has lost meaning for me. i like to think of myself as someone who regards everyday as a new day and every moment as a new moment. oh, well!
as 2008 came around, i couldn't but help take stalk of my life. perhaps its because my life changed more dramatically in 2007 than it ever has -- what with Vehd's birth. i am still trying to hang on to the hope that new years will lose their meaning for me and i will some day be able to regard every day as a new beginning. in the meantime, i made some intentions for 2008.
2008 is about finding my connection with myself and my close community. the following are some of my intentions for the year ...
... daily practice of yoga, meditation, journal writing and some nature contact along with vehd
... learn to play a musical instrument
... read a book a week or at least every two weeks
... create a mindful parenting group -- a group of parents making very mindful choices about their parenting
... create seasonal celebrations with friends
... restart rock-climbing
... take meaningful family vacations
... these are some of my intentions. time will tell how well i get connected ...
onward to 2008!
If you think that new years have no meaning why then should you welcome 2008? Why not have a post welcoming every day??
