A New Year
Thanks be to God
So we had a wonderful Christmas, thanks God. Everything was so good: the preparations, the Christmas Eve dinner, the First Day of Christmas...I can only thank God endlessly.
Then it came the New Year, also so good. Those moments when the year ends and a new one begins were so peacefuly, so happy.
How can I thank God for so much good He gives to me ?!
I like Christmas but I also like so much the beginning of a New Year.
The Liturgical Year began in December with Advent but the common year begins now.
As my birthday is in October and for me is also a year that begins, I begin making a lot of plans. From October to the end of December it works as a kind of prelude to the new year. Then in January I feel I'm going in full steam. And it feels good.
I have this sentence in my mind since the year began, even in the end of December: Be Better.
It's not about to be perfect, perfectionism is a very bad thing, it's just about to be better and that feels good and gives me so much hope.
Be better as a homemaker, as a woman. I have a long list of "to be beter" in my mind and I feel I can do it, it's not above reach.
I want to be very good to me, to be my best friend. Many times we forget ourselves but now I will be more careful and do what I can, everyday, to be feel calmer and happy. For instance, I will not go everyday running to do so many things in a time frame when I should only do half of it. This way I don't need to run so much.
I will give a lot of importance to me and my house. It's ot that I don't do it now but I want to do it in a calm way, slowing down.
And I will try hard to take more care of me again. Mothers and daughters of older parents sometimes forget about themselves. I must remember that I am important too.
I want to work a lot on my sewing machine, I want to be more organised, I want to do a lot of work in my home... I do have a lot of plans.
And I want to work more on my blog.
And...
Let's begin !
