Well! Not at my window this afternoon, I have already gravitated to my studio since Jack is enjoying T.V. football in the kitchen. Through the magic of my blog I can enjoy my view right here at my desktop.
So last day of 2012, and life just keeps getting better and better.
I think a big part of this truth is that I actually acted upon some advice I had been hearing for years but could never get myself to follow through with. That advice was "What leaves you feeling bad, do less of. What leaves you feeling good, do more of."
It took me years to figure out that sometimes people don't like you, and sometimes those people are your own family. For lots of years I believed "you always hurt the one you love" and thought that it was okay. OKay for me to make loved ones feel lousy, okay for me to be the one hurt. Just swallow the lousy feeling and go on for another day of hurting others and being hurt.
Today, I have forgiven all the crummy comments, hatefulness that has come my way, all of the ugliness that has stepped into my home. Mostly though, I have forgiven myself for all of the crummy comments, hatefulness that I have spewed, and ugliness that I have splayed about.
2013 is my year for acting only after I have paused to determine my intention. I have actually succeeded in doing less of what leaves me feeling bad, and I am endeavoring to do more of what leaves me feeling good. What I am discovering is that most of what leaves me feeling good is not determined by other people's actions but MY OWN.
So come on 2013, I am ready for ya'!
