18 Week 1

Events: Starting back to work, therapy and ending the holidays. Memorial service for a parent/friend from grade school days with our girls. Movies with family. 

Thoughts/feelings: It's curious to ponder a new year. The impulse for me is to try and change everything all at once. A slow, methodical approach to living, health and change doesn't seem to my current natural instinct.

I sense, however, that this approach to life is changing, almost at a subconscious level I can't quite identify in my body. I'm reminded of how plant life and trees hibernate but also grow over the winter. That's what it feels like; powerful, almost imperceptible, foundational. I hope I'm right. 

This feels like a year that will be full of more discoveries, more healing, more growth. I sense that lose pieces might come together. I don't know what that looks like, exactly, but at least I have pathways and a community again to facilitate those changes and conversations.

Years past, that foundation-building work was done and I hope to pull some key things together this year. I want that to be a 2018 reality. I'm hopeful. 

Fight On
