Resting

This week between Christmas and the New Year is a time of rest and reflection. I am lucky enough to have the week “off” (as in, not many projects on my desk) so I have been organizing and cleaning and taking a deep breath before 2022 begins. I also got my booster shot yesterday, and this morning has been spent moving slowly and drinking lots of water and in general being pretty grumpy.

Therapy has continued to be extremely eye-opening, and I feel like I am achieving a level of peace, slowly and surely. It will take some time, for sure, but I can already feel shifts in how I view my reactions, and see them as separate and not defining me. I’m also taking extra time to appreciate that the life I am living is pretty darn close to what 10 year old me envisioned. That’s pretty cool.

What else? I have been making art for myself recently, which is something I haven’t done for a while. Painting landscapes and nature, it’s very meditative and I am enjoying not feeling like I need to photograph or scan them to share on the internet. We live in such strange times, don’t we?!?

Our cat is living the best life, outdoor time, indoor time, naps, and good food. I hope you all can enjoy the same!
