“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” – C.S. Lewis
Well, here it is. The last Sunday of 2018.
Where did that year go? Seriously, it has flown by and I can’t quite believe it.
It’s been eventful in so many ways, with work and stress, family and stress, writing and stress… I think you get the gist of what I am saying. 2018 was filled with a whole lot of stress for me, but there were many good points too.
My dream for next year is to be able to take more time for me.
So I don’t fall into the stress potholes of life so easily.
So I can deal with work issues without worry.
So I can handle the inevitable ups and downs of family life calmly
So I can really work on this writing malarkey and fulfil one of my biggest dreams…
That’s my wish for you all too. More time for self care so you feel refreshed for your daily lives. ❤
So… tell me, what new dreams are you hoping to realise in 2019?
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps And enjoy your New Year’s Celebration! Wishing you a prosperous 2019 ❤
But I Smile Anyway...

I think I would like my 2019 to be quiet and move slowly like a small creek; however, it isn’t looking that way just yet.

I am not good with new year to me it is a non event. Nothing changes magically at midnight December 31st the same old same old will be there to greet us January 1st.
That said the goal you have set for yourself and your wishes for us make a great deal of sense.
For me I would dearly love to get a book of poems out there, also I hope to carry what I learned on my recent course forward. 💜💜 Wishing you all the best Sis.💜💜

I did not wait until the change of the year to apply what I want to change. I want to spend more time with my mother and started already a few months ago and I want to keep this up.
What I want for myself is working more in the field where I feel home: writing, going more for my practice and perhaps focusing more on the health field again for making a living than the financial world.
I also want to be more steadfast about the steps I have/want to take. No feelings of guilt but still with love in my heart.
Happy Sunday, sis!

Hi Ritu, Here’s to less stress…I’m retired, so can fully appreciate that state, and do! BUT we have to give up our years for it…(there’s always a catch..) Another BUT coming…I appreciate everything and am eternally grateful for family and all the simple joys of life. Here’s wishing it for you. A happy New Year. xx
