Category: Theme

I did not go looking to theme my year. I thought that a word of the year was all I would need. I thought that would suffice.

Then the dreams started.

Then the words started to pour forth into my brain, and finally onto my page.

So I stopped, eventually, as is my wont, and listened to what my brain was spewing forth at me.

A focus for the coming year. A theme to guide me through the year.

Movement.

2024 will be a year to move, to push forward, to gain ground.

2024 will not be a year to be patient, to wait, to stagnate.

Movement. Forward motion.

For me, this means creating. This means painting. This means making. This means writing. This means drawing. This means stitches made with hooks, needles, thread, yarn, and whatever else takes my fancy.

For me, this means not waiting for someone that I have asked to help me, but doing the best I can, as much as I can, on my own. Even the tiniest little bit of forward motion every day counts.

This is also going to apply to my health. My doctor has been listening. Some of my medications have been adjusted and I can breathe more easily (literally—asthma can suck the life out of you if it goes untreated or improperly treated).

As I move along in the coming you, I will keep you updated on my journey.

Thanks for coming along with me.
