Last year was a transition year. We downsized from our suburban home of 30+ years and moved into a small apartment in a brand new retirement community. We spent our time organizing and furnishing our apartment, trying out everything the community offers and making new friends. We have a few projects related to the move following us into 2024 as well as some ongoing health issues.
My plans for this year, though, are all about taking care of myself...no resolutions, no shoulds or musts or schedules...just a few overarching themes to guide and shape my life. I'm starting with eliminating most added sugar and empty calories from my diet. Exercise is as important as healthy eating, but I want to cut back on the number of classes I take and spend more time outside just walking and hiking and enjoying nature. I will be sewing and scanning family photographs without self-imposed deadlines. Most of all I want to slow down enough to really listen to others without worrying about how I should respond. I want to look forward to each day with energy and anticipation and go to bed each night full of gratitude and peace.

That sounds like a beautiful life, Kim!
