A New Year

OUT for 2024

trying to control things that were never in my control / only writing when the house is clean
/ drinking coffee instead of resting / multitasking constantly / apologizing for simple suppers / short sleeved sweaters / doubting those I love / yellow laundry rooms / staying quiet about the goodness of God / Instagram (probably) / dehydration / comparing my life, house, body, relationships, children, art / imposter syndrome / perfection 

IN for 2024

believing the best about others / family reading time / middle of the day dates / cooking with my daughters / walking the dog rain or shine / coffee hours / breathing deep / looking at the stars / smiling at strangers / Substack (hopefully) / sitting at the pond / sourdough bagels / asking better questions / moisturizers with sunscreen / background music / book clubs / black dresses / books about writing / fancy drinks / presence 

Happy almost new year, friends! What do you need to leave behind? What do you hope to welcome with open arms?
