I've blown hot and cold with this project for the last week or so but here it is ... Week 1. I find PL hard when life really isn't hunky dory, when my PL pages are perhaps more gloom than boom. So much so, that I almost canned this page an hour ago. But I've chosen to show up as part of my word for this year... acceptance.
Also keeping the tried and tested design because it works for me :)

The year to finally learn acceptance. To count my blessings regularly because I know I have them. That most things are perfectly imperfect and it’s ok to have beans and egg on toast as a main meal when I really don’t want anything else. To be open to new places and activities while being comforted by those I know and love. But perhaps the thing I really need to be ok with is that no matter what happens, I will be ok.
Days gone by. Carefree days that I think we all took for granted. Good times and not so good times that were all part of the journey. On rare occasions, the carefree youngster emerges, if just for a short time. Almost instantly I’m reminded of the years that distance me from my younger self and remember who I am. But also who I was. As I’ve gotten older, I concern myself less about some things but worry more about others. I feel an unusual vulnerability that means I have an infinite need to be in control. That some days I run almost on empty. That I’ll find this project challenging when it shouldn’t be. But I’ve missed the year’s that I’ve not done it even though I’ve relished the break. And perhaps that’s all part of acceptance. That life has it’s ups and downs and not everything has to be perfect. That sometimes, weeks are full of fun and activity and glorious sunshine (rarely) while others are mundane and monotonous and same old, same old (mostly). But it’s life. My life. And I have loved ones that brighten it so that I’m often dazzled. That’s whom I document for. The good. The not so good. The hard. All of it. Just so they know.
TFL!
