How to Thrive

Collection:

Prompt: Planting Seeds

So if I look at the year behind me, it’s been a milestone in my life, because it’s the year I retired. And from the time I could sort of see towards the future and set goals I was… I had aims of post-secondary education and being able to support myself in life– that was clear in my mind that I had to do that, and then all along I had a job, and I used to pursue professional development, and at one point, I wanted to change careers. So, again, I’ve always had professional goals, always, always, always, always. So retiring, it’s like that just came to a complete stop. what had occupied my mind and my motivation pretty well all my life. So, it is a bit disorienting. It’s a big shift in focus. So I need to adapt. I have to adapt. And so now I’m seeing that my goals are much more personal on me and how to thrive, and how to have a good emotional balance, which really should have been the goal for my whole life, but I didn’t have room for that before. So, my goals for the coming year are: I want to stay fit, I want to walk on a regular basis, I’d like to write more and organize my writing, and I’d really like to improve the quality of my writing.
