End of 2023 Reflections

Glee greetings, !

I hope this musing finds you well and happy. As we approach the end of 2023, I want to take a moment to reflect on the past months, January to November, and share some of my thoughts with you.

You may have been asking yourself; what have I achieved this year? Wasn't January 2023 just yesterday? How did we get to December so fast? The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.

You see, , time is not something that happens to us. It is something that we create and shape with our actions and choices. We are not passive passengers on a speeding train. We are active drivers of our own lives.

That means we have the power to make the most of every moment, every day, every year. We have the power to set our goals, pursue our passions, and make a positive impact in the world. We have the power to learn, grow, and improve ourselves. We have the power to celebrate our successes and overcome our challenges.

But we also have the responsibility to use our time wisely and responsibly. We have the responsibility to prioritize what matters most to us and to let go of what doesn't. We have the responsibility to balance our work and our play, our productivity and our rest, our giving and our receiving. We have the responsibility to be mindful of how we spend our time and who we spend it with.

So, as we wrap up 2023, I invite you to join me in doing a simple exercise. Grab a pen and a paper, and write down the answers to these three questions:

• What are you most proud of this year?
• What are you most grateful for this year?
• What are you most excited about for next year?

Take your time and be honest with yourself. You may be surprised by what you discover. You may realize how much you have accomplished, how much you have grown, and how much you have to look forward to. You may also notice some areas where you can improve, some goals that you can revisit, and some changes that you can make.

Whatever you find, I hope you feel proud of yourself for making it through this year. I hope you feel grateful for all the opportunities and blessings that you have received. And I hope you feel excited for all the possibilities and adventures that await you in 2024.

, you are the pilot of your life. You have the power to make this flight into the coming year amazing. And I am here to support you, cheer you on, and celebrate with you along the way.

Thank you for being my pen pal this year, ans digesting my daily musings like your favourite meal.

Happy holidays!

With ❤️
