Back to my word for the year:
re·lin·quish (r-lngkwsh)
1. To retire from; give up or abandon.
2. To put aside or desist from
3. To let go; surrender.
4. To cease holding physically; release
This waiting time before Christmas is a perfect time to relinquish: let go of expectations, guilt, things undone and just give in to the quiet and calm and family time.
Reflecting on my 2009 goals:
I will put aside time to scrapbook more and relinquish the idea that it takes incredible energy to organize and create.
I will cease to physically hold enough Christmas gifts and supplies to last me years. I will carve out time to finish projects, I will seek out joy, and I will make fruitcake this year!
I will cease to hold these extra 15 pounds. Well, at least 10 of them! I will relinquish the patterns and influences that keep me from eating well and exercising.
I will relinquish the need to do our finances my way and work with Bruce to put aside more money and desist from feeling deprived when I'm not spending excessively.
I will abandon my mindset that I have to do everything, do it quickly, and do it perfectly at work. I will relinquish more to others, surrender my to do list, and stay away from the office more.
The goal that has been most neglected this year, which I am focusing on these last days of the year, is the scrapbooking one. Today I continued work on the birthday album and getting 2008 photos added to the kids albums.
