The eve of New Year's Day brings reflection at last upon what lies ahead for 2013. Today was the Feast of Mary, the Holy Mother of God, the one who is blessed because she believed. She was a young woman of deep faith whose yes changed everything. As I enter into this New Year, I have not thought much about specific resolutions but the ones that do come to mind are solid:
1. Keep my eyes on Jesus with a trusting heart.
2. Do something beautiful for God this year.
3. Have more fun.
4. Continue working on staying healthy in mind, body, emotions, and spirit.
5. Be grateful in all things.
6. Try something that scares me.
7. Continue to define what is important and nonnegotiable in my life and stand by these beliefs.
8. Be kinder. Spread peace. Bring joy.
9. Fall in love. Stay in love. Let it change everything.
10. Create beauty for myself and others.
11. Serve faithfully.
12. Be open to God's gifts.
Naturally these goals are too general and lack a "SMARTness" about them but I think there is a wisdom in them anyway. These are the things that are most on my heart as the New Year rings in and like Mary, I want to believe and say Let it be!
What about you--what does Wisdom whisper in your ear as this New Year begins?
Peace,
Suzanne
