Good Bye 2013! Don’t let the door hitcha!
So, like everyone else on this planet, I am ruminating on the last 365 days. I cannot say that this has been my favorite year.
Too many people, including myself, had major health issues. Life threatening ones.
Too many good people (note that I include all animals, not just humans in this) died. Some I knew, most I did not have the privilege to meet. Some I hadn’t seen in a few decades. All have gone sooner than they should from our point of view, no matter how long they lived.
The divide between the haves and the have-nots has become almost a gorge. And for some reason the have-nots keep voting the super-haves into office and allowing them to make corporations people.
The cases of animal, child, spousal, and elderly abuse in the world has grown to unbelievable proportions.
Big Ag-Pharm has more power over us than you can even imagine, and they will get more.
The level of ignorance and misinformation has grown by leaps and bounds, and we are falling further and further away from any chance we may have to save ourselves.
And No One Cares.
At least it doesn’t feel like it.
But a lot of good things happened this year.
Many friends and family got engaged, married, or hatched offspring. They found joy in their new situations and shared it with us.
New friends were made by many.
The movement to grow your own food and harvest and distribute heirloom seeds is growing at an amazing rate.
More people are using renewable energies and more recycled products. They are reusing more and realizing that our throw-away lifestyle is not sustainable in any way.
Many of us learned new crafts or creative skills to help us pass the time and stimulate our minds.
Some of us had good responses to treatments, or have been healed thanks to hard working doctors, and science.
We all hopefully learned something and gained a better understanding of ourselves and others.
I am working on my “resolutions” for the year. Because I need to do these things, and need to commit to them for myself and for others, I am going to share my top 10 with you here if you don’t mind.
1- I am going to spend more time with the people I love. (Again, not just the humans.)
2- I am going to lose the weight I need to lose, and gain the strength I need to gain in order to have my reconstruction surgery and to reduce my risk of recurrance.
3- I am going to volunteer more, and add at least one organization to my list. (If you want to join me in helping others, please let me know.)
4- I am going to garden more.
5- I am going to travel more.
6- I am going to take better care of myself mentally and emotionally.
7- I am going to more patient and compassionate.
8- I am going to make most of my meals at home, and try new things.
9- I am going to organize my office.
10- I am going to get my hammock set up.
I hope that 2014 is better for all of you, and the world at large. I hope that we can all work together to save this little planet. This beautiful blue dot in a vast universe. I hope that you are all healthy and happy, and help others to be so every way you can. I hope you can open your heart and your home to someone in need. I hope we all have clean water, safe, food, and clean air.
I hope that our Home is filled with love for all.
I love you. Happy New Year.
