My Dream for the New Year

In 2022 I want to appreciate every little thing.

I want to enjoy the time I spend with my children, even though they drive me crazy. They will be grown before I know it, and I need to remember to savor these days.

I want to spend less time in pursuit of stuff, of ideas of what I think I need to have or need to do, and spend more time enjoying what I have and what is.

I want to use what is already in my pantry.

I want to wear what is already in my closet.

I want to use up every lotion and bath bomb lingering in my linen closet.

I want to read every book on my bedside table.

I want to see the friends I already treasure.

I have everything I need, right here, right now, and in 2022, I want to remember that.

That’s my wish for 2022, for myself, for you, for all of us. It might seem like a modest wish, but I think if we can remember to slow down and appreciate what we already have, we might have a really beautiful year. And I think we all deserve a really, really beautiful year.
