I have found that my choices are more complicated than they
might seem. They are not choices that I
make once and stick to. They are a choices that I make several times a day, 365
days a year, with varying degrees of assurance
and commitment, and struggle with. To be
a better person is open to interpretation.
To make choices more commensurate with human progress, isn’t as simple as
it might seem. There are as many different definitions of human progress as there are people.
I find that taking stock in the past year is as valuable as
making resolutions about the next one. If
2014 could have a theme, in my life at least, it would be letting go. As a teacher,
I am learning to let go of circumstances that I cannot control. As a writer, I am learning to let go of
procrastination. As a person, I am
learning to let go of situations and relationships that do not support my overall wellbeing.
These are not done deals by any means, they are works in
progress. In 2015, I hope to continue to
learn and grow. I hope that I can
accept the lessons that life has to offer, without holding on to bitterness and resentment. I struggle with loss
as much as anyone. My wish for 2015 is
to hold on to my center, to hold on to hope and to keep believing in a better
world.
Happy New Year to all and best wishes for 2015.
