The year of 2023

Advertisements

You showed up initially with so much hope to get things done. And I’m not going to lie; you were making some great moves and meeting deadlines, and the results were good, even with last-minute fixes.

You presented a great book.

But then you burned out, trying to do something new and uncomfortable and overwhelming that you were stuck and down for far too long.

And so you thought there was no hope or light at the end of the tunnel. And right when you were about to give up a familiar face showed you grace and offered you help and support, and like a new, energized Bunny, you were off to get things done, and wow, did you get them done.

And then you showed your wins, and another hand came out and helped you up to the next stage of your journey. You shot off like a rocket, and even in the rough turbines, you did your task and made your deadlines again.

Ultimately, the year was not all your vision, but success was there as you crossed the finish line in 2023.

Be still when I sit down to enjoy little moments like this, when the sun is out and the weather is nice.

Because becoming one with nature as you breathe it all in and out.

It’s like time finally gave you permission to slow down and be yourself and embrace the quiet.

To keep your mind blank and your body healing, without feeling the need to rush.

This moment won’t be the same tomorrow, as the weather changes each day, just like our moods.
