I have so many projects on the go right now because I like to have variety of crafting. I need to challenge myself to pick up the project and decide where I am and what it is I need to do next. This keeps me “busy” in my mind. What keeps me busy in my heart?

The holidays and once again over for another year and January is upon us. This is the time of year when everyone believes it is a fresh start and a time when we can resolve to do better, be better and achieve more. Funny how the marketing has taken on the message about the drop off of resolutions and working on getting people to figure out how not to quit their hopeful change.
Multi-tasking is a way of avoiding digging deep into one project. When we have more than one project on the go when we get bored or lose interest we can switch. That has been the story of my life. Changing lanes when the dew is off the rose, or the brass is tarnished. Life is boring … boring because our deepest happiness is in doing little other than witnessing the wonder of our world. Right we all live in fear and anxiety as to what is going on in the world, gone are the days when our world view was maybe 10 miles deep.
We know too much. Too much for our current evolved brain to compute. Technology has brought to our desks, in our homes, the troubles of the whole. Alongside those troubles are fears and anxieties for which we can never soothe.
So here’s my 2026 thought …. I am going to stay more focused on what I can manage and work with. I am going to make it my mission to not be shamed into caring about the world’s problems every minute of every day from the 24 hr news channel and, while checking in, looking up now and again, I am going to focus my attention on my own heart and health. If we all spent a little time loving ourselves then love would be more of our focus.
If you don’t hear from me … that’s why! Take care and take charge … of loving yourself because if you do not love yourself no one else will.
