1 Thing I’m NOT Giving Up This Year

The squirrels are loose! Good thing we're getting back to some semblance of structure...

It’s been good to take time off.

We had a pretty good balance between outings and down time. Of course there was too much screen time, and we never got over to Rockefeller Center to see the big tree, but the one I’m sitting right next to smells intoxicating, so I’m okay with it. 

I've had a little time to think on those long drives to visit family. 

I’ve thought about some things I want to give up this year, but I’ve also thought about all the things I don’t want to give up in 2024.

Structure is one of them, and I can’t believe I’m hearing myself say that. But during the New Year’s Day yoga & journaling workshop (HERE'S THE REPLAY), my friend Renae said something that really struck me: 

“We need structure for freedom.”

I love that. It's so true...

My neurodivergent brain was really been spinning out last week from a lack of structure! 

My mind and body crave it, even as something to rebel against.
