Filling Up
An excerpt from a journal entry I made a couple weeks ago: Do I need a word for this year to center my journaling around? Will it be helpful? I don't really know what I'm hoping to draw from this year. I am beginning this season feeling somewhat empty. I feel spent. I feel I have been pouring out so much of myself into so many different cups. And they are cups that I own and empty out just to wash and put on my shelf again to be used the next day. I have decided to be gentle with myself and my new year's resolutions this year. I'm not trying to create a new routine only to be disappointed in myself a couple weeks later. I have very little room for disappointment these days. I decided to make an effort to consume some creative content each day, whether that be reading a book (for fun, what a concept!!) reading a poem, journaling, or reading a blog post. So far, I've been proud of what I've been able to fit into my schedule, even as classes have started back up...
