Last day of 2022

[clevermanka]

I managed to answer one of the December meme prompts from everybody who asked one before the end of the year. That feels pretty good! A few people left multiple prompts and I plan to return to those on a sporadic basis next month.

I've already begun a lot of the habits I want to carry with me into the new year. I'm interacting more regularly with tarot, I've established connections with a group of people to discuss spiritual exploration, and I'm pushing myself physically just a teensy bit every day while also re-incorporating mandatory daily naps. On the more internally-based side of things I'm working on feeling comfortable doing things I enjoy for money. I've started reading cards and writing ritual for cash--things that would have been anathema to me five years ago--and I'm working up to feeling okay about the possibility of writing as part of my income.

Unsurprisingly, the emotional changes are more difficult because emotional growth is the worst. I don't want to be a person who sits stagnant and secure in old habits and ways of thinking, though, so I plod onward. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creep in their petty pace but that's a speed I can handle. Rushing into things hasn't served me well in the past anyway.

I'm very linear-time-oriented so the coming new year starting on a Sunday sits well with me (I am not a Monday as the first day of the week person). I don't want to say I'm looking forward to the coming year (because I'm also a very superstitious person) but I am looking forward to the positive possibilities that might come my way in 2023.

Hope springs eternal, etc. etc.

Sending you all good vibes only. Cheers 🥂 and may you at least kiss someone at midnight in your dreams 😚

Such great prompts and I've loved reading your answers.

Your work to create positive change and growth is inspiring to me. That shit is HARD. But, the opposite- complacency and stagnancy- doesn't sound all that appetizing either. Easier, yes, but still. Not great.

Here's to good things happening in the new year!

HUGS HUGS HUGS

I see what sort of person complacency turned my dad into, and No Thank You.

Fuck Yeah Good Things In 2023! For both of us!

Hoping/looking forward to positive possibilities for 2023 for you (and all of us) too! It sounds like you have yourself well organized in a lot of forward-looking ways, and it's impressive. Keep us posted and have a very very happy new year <3

[clevermanka]

Thank you! To you, too.

Emotional growth is the WORST! Ugh! You know I'm there with you.

I hope your New Year's Eve was peaceful, and that your new year has started off well. I'm wrapping up my "retreat", which went very well, and emerging back into the "real world"...what a trip. LOL!

[clevermanka]

I'm so glad your retreat was beneficial! I'd welcome you back to the real world, but...
