Time to shine

When I saw this on Facebook, it stopped me in my tracks. The imagery so perfectly reflects my process of the past couple of years.

In 2022 I was largely turned in on myself as I moved through my cancer journey. 

At the beginning of 2023, I was done with treatments, off disability, and back to work. So, I rather naively assumed all was back to normal. It wasn’t until about half or even two-thirds of the way through 2023 that I finally “got it” that, although progress was being made, I still had a way to go before being fully healed and integrated on all levels once again.

Now, as 2024 gets underway, there’s been a definite inner shift, which I’m experiencing as interesting new thoughts, choices, and behaviors (I’ll share more about this in future blog posts). 

In fact, the above image (which can be purchased as a print) has inspired me to do something I haven’t done in over thirty years — create a little rhyme to affirm my vision for this beautiful new year. Here goes…

In two zero two four, I’ll shine once more! 🌟

Awaiting developments

I was coming up blank on what to write about this evening, so I thought I might settle for a beautiful photo.

Then I happened upon this kitty and realized I could totally relate to her look of anticipation, whether eager or apprehensive or a little of both.

2022 is off to that kind of a start for me. I’m equal parts eager and apprehensive to see what develops as the year unfolds.

Funny, yet…not

I think this meme was the funniest thing I saw on the internet this week.

It was also completely sobering.

In fact, it took me a few seconds before I “got it” — not because I’m so slow, but because I couldn’t really comprehend the fact that we’re four months from the beginning of 2022!

**Shakes head**

I just don’t even have words for this.
