A time to reflect.

A new year often brings with it new years resolutions. I don't generally make resolutions however I do use this holiday time to reflect on the year that has been and think of the year ahead. I do think about the good choices and the not so good choices I made in the past year. I think about what I want to remove from my life and I think about what I want to add to my life. I think about how I can make life more rich and fruitful. Not rich in the money sense but rich in the sense of enjoyment, space, soul nourishing. Fruitful in the sense of giving and loving others and adding richness to anothers life too.
A new year can be a time of starting over and sheding some layers. Layers that I don't need anymore.
It can be a time of reflection and a time of consideration.
My husband Steve and I spend a lot of this 'new year' time talking and sharing. Discussing together where we are headed as a family, a couple and as individuals. The space we have access to when our business is on holidays, the kids are on holidays and the world is a bit sleepy is very beneficial for us. We make decisions and plans and share ideas. It connects us in a way that is good and comforting and intimate.
I do love the new year. I love the possibilities. I love the hope. I love the anticipation. I love starting fresh. I love the excitment.  I love New Years.
