So here's the thing...

I didn't have a great year last year.   I had a lot of disappointments - mostly in myself, and the way I handled the year.   Which is why I did not do my normal end of the year wrap up, and then start off the year posts.

I have goals for this year - I absolutely have goals for the year.   But they're a little different than they've been in the past.  This year, I've decided is the year to be aware.

I have decided that I need a way to look after myself; my brain, my spirit, my self.  So I have started learning to meditate.  There's a great book that I found for beginners, that teaches you to meditate 8 minutes a day.  I started on Sunday, so I'm not sure how well I'm doing but the book stresses that it's the practice of meditation, so just doing it is accomplishing something.

Anyway, it's new, and maybe I can learn to be more calm, centered, and maybe more myself than I've been most recently.
