Happy New Year!
As the last few hours of 2010 close upon us, here are a few things to write about in your journal:
- What was your big accomplishment this year?
- What was your biggest blunder, and most importantly, what did you learn from it?
- What new ideas were sparked and implemented?
- What did you miss seeing only because of lack of observation at the time?
- What did you give up and how do you feel about it?
- What did you do to improve your life?
- What did you create this year?
- Who or what was nurtured by you this year?
- What changed in your life – expected or unexpected?
- What did you accept this year – willingly or otherwise?
So as we move into 2011… let go of 2010 and embrace the new year, a new decade, and a chance to make this year better than all the previous ones. Remember, it’s your choice.
Wishing you a Very Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year! And remember, continue to write, journal, play and create. Your input is a necessary part of the Universe.
Warmest Regards,
