joy
January 1, 2014 § 15 Comments
In the sleepy contentment of a New Year still drowsy with memories of last year, I am writing the word JOY into my calendar.
I am sweeping out the cobwebs of worry that suffocate light and making room for the uncomplicated company of wonder.
I am recognizing the potential in new opportunities over the threat of harm in the unknown.
I am making myself vulnerable to each experience and finding strength in tenderness.
I will move into this year marking the landscape of change with joy.
I will look first to ability over insecurity and see possibility in spite of adversity.
I will stand present in simple delights hidden in the noise of busy days, embracing each moment.
I am setting my heart and mind to mark the passage of days to come with joy, welcoming the New Year with resolve.

You are such an inspiration and so brave to proclaim your intention. Thanks!
Brave was a candidate, but I was intimidated by the power in those letters. Thank you for seeing what I could not say.
