2019 - Comfort&Joy

As I was going through my emails yesterday, I came across one that suggested choosing A WORD as your new year symbol/intention for what you wanted instead of having resolutions.  Well, I'm ahead of the game as that is exactly what I have been doing for several years now! 

2018 was the year of Ease and it went quite well!  Even my breakup with my significant other went with relative ease considering.  So, for me, this method has worked incredibly well!

I am choosing a combo of words for 2019...Comfort&Joy!  I need these in my life at this time.  After coming in to some ease, I noted that I'm missing some comfort and joy.  I am looking forward to bringing these elements into my world this year.

I also want to move closer in (toward downtown) so I'm closer to my social circles again and less likely to isolate due to vicinity.  That will take some time as I'm on a lease and I also need to save up for the deposit and moving costs.  But it's a worthy goal. 

I will continue working on improving the range of motion in my left shoulder.  I resolved the frozen shoulder on my right side and have no doubt I can repeat the success on my left side given time and patience.  It is taking much longer to resolve but with consistent stretching and exercises I, at least, am not seeing it get worse.

I continue to pursue my health by giving up all meat and dairy products.  This has turned into a pleasure for me.  I love the benefits my body has gained by giving up these foods.  I no longer crave meat and dairy foods.  I feel better and have had positive lab results that only validate my choices.  I look forward to seeing what improvements come from removing all dairy from my diet this coming year.

I do have a goal of getting back to writing this year.  I miss my muse and I have gotten off track as I let other activities become a priority.  Also, my daughter bought me a beginner's guitar for Christmas so that is another aspiration of mine, to learn how to play it!  I have lots to keep me intrigued in the new year!
