Thought of the Year: Return

This holiday season has been, for me, a return. 

I think this year is going to be a big year of change for me.  A lot of important change. I can feel it...some work changes, some lifestyle changes, hopefully some positive changes, maybe some big changes...but I want it to be interesting...good, fun, challenging. 

Coming back home this year has made me realize I have certain values that I need to reaffirm, relationships I need to mend and revisit. Part of me that I need to rediscover.  A little bit of amor fati, if you will.

But I also think there's some things I need to give up.  Some things in my life I need to change.  Some parts of me I need to revisit and rebuild. 

I'm doing an inner journey to remember who I was, when I was younger, so that I take those best parts to the future.

If anything, this has been a year of 'return' to return to who I could have been and knowing that what I could be, can't be, until I start making some big, positive, real change in my life.

Hanging out with my older brother today

Had a blast!

(And of course with my super cute niece as well.)
