Good bye 2020. Hello 2021.
2020 taught me a lot of things. I upped my baking skills to a level I never thought could exist for me. I learned that being an introvert was lucky because my life didn’t change a whole lot with isolation and lockdowns. I missed traveling and exploring my city, province and country. I got to know myself better by the abundance of alone time.
But I still want more.
This has been an ongoing theme since I turned 40. There has to be more than this. When I feel this way, I know its time for more introspective work. I had been thinking about this for a while. What do I need to do to understand myself better or to find out what I want to do with the next half of my life. I need change.
I found a list of questions to ask yourself. This set of questions is meant for kids to develop a stronger sense of self and a positive self-esteem. I read through them and you know what? I think I could benefit from these questions too. I thought about answering a question each week but if I am doing it then there might be one or two people out there who would like to ask themselves the questions too. Each Wednesday I will post a question and lets see where this will take us shall we? Hopefully by the end of 2021, we will all have the new vaccine and life can resemble something a little bit different from 2020.
Maybe we can discuss what we learn about ourselves. I hope you join me next week. Get yourself a journal and a pen or pencil. I image we will know ourselves a whole lot better this time next year.
Stay healthy friends and Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, ET! I’m looking forward to hearing the answers to these questions of yours, and I might just dust off the keyboard and put up some answers of my own. 🙂
I hope all is well with you, and that 2021 brings you many exciting and lovely experiences.
My life isn’t nearly as exciting as yours at the moment but it’s lovely just the same. I always smile when I see you in my inbox. Seeing your posts on Monday mornings way back in the day got me through some tough times. I am so happy for you and your new little fam. Happy New Year Friend!!
