An unexpected year to say the least but as has been mentioned...self reflection has been my theme this year too. I have been forced to slow way down and be more thoughtful in my approach to work, relationships and life in general. I have slowed my pace, incorporated more meditation and yoga during my daily routine and made it a point to isten to my body for rest and self-care. I have scheduled more me time than ever and considered preparing for retirement by revisiting my finances, where I'd like to retire and how my time will be spent when that time comes (a couple of years will come quickly. ). My garden is thriving, my relationships are solid and I'm spending more time @ my potter's wheel. I have cleaned out my closets, cabinets and garage. I have cleared the clutter and feel lighter and freer than I have in a long time. My life is less filled with activities and I feel far less chaotic. I've embraced home delivery of groceries and cleaning supplies, special meals and amazon is my friend. My home is filled with music, candles and soft throws and pillows. I make a conscious efforts to live more peacefully and quietly. With a slower life, my sleep is deeper and longer, I've lost those stubborn pounds, the lines on my face are not as deep and I've been told I glow brighter. My dogs are calmer, my work is delivered unrushed and with deliberate pride. I smile easier and longer and I feel more centered and confident and looking forward while trying to remain in the moment.
