I read other people's goals and resolutions, and I am eager to take those on too. A clothing/ purchasing challenge? Sure, I'll do that. Efforts to get outside despite bad weather? I'm on it. A push to organize and declutter? Definitely happening.
I am full of hope and excitement, inspired to do all the little things that I love. This weekend I might make another batch of elderberry syrup or try mixing up a batch of fireside cider. I'll keep sippin' on apple cider vinegar drinks and playing around with essential oils. I'm looking up new recipes and trying to rehash old ones. Life feels full and wonderful. I'm amazed how once you get started on making good decisions, it breeds more good decisions. When I stop paying attention, I find myself sucked intoa iPhone hole in the midst of messy house ordering pizza for dinner.
I'm quite certain my borderline euphoria is a pregnancy hormone induced, but given the fact that usually the pregnancy hormones seem to swing the other way, I'm going to ride this mood swing out for as long as I can.

So much YES in this post, Rachel! I've been thinking/feeling the same...reflecting a lot on how folks view resolutions and such. I think they can be a fleeting moment for some, but I also think they can truly be life changers for others...it's all in how you put your mind to it. I'm not one to do all that well with changes, BUT, this year feels different for some reason and I think 99.9% of that is because my mind is in an overall better, more optimistic place. Your post here really hit the nail on the head - good decisions breading more. Your writing continues to inspire me so much!!

Thank you so much for all the kind words, Jessica. I am going to do everything in my power to keep these changes up because they are doing wonders for my whole state of being. I'm feeling really good about 2015. Glad it's looking good for you too.,
DeleteGood golly, give me some of that pregnancy hormone! =))) You're so right about how one good decision leads to more. Where are you getting your elderberries for syrup this time of year?
ReplyDeleteThe elderberries are dried-- go them at Wholefoods. My foraging skills are non-existent. It's on the list for 2015. I'm hoping to find some sort of mentor or workshop to learn the area. Till then-- it's all online or retail for me.
DeleteI love this! And I know what you mean! I've always wanted to try making fire cider - some time soon! :)
