Inspirations and Reflections for 2020

It’s the new year (make that “new decade”), a time for reflecting on the past and anticipating things to come.

In last weekend’s post, I linked to an article about choosing resolutions that you can accomplish in one day. I think it’s a brilliant idea. Imagine the satisfaction you can get from resolutions that you are able to realize in manageable chunks of time. As the writer, Mallory Rice, points out, her resolution was a small piece of a larger goal. It’s much the way I approach a very large project at work. I tackle small pieces, chipping away at the whole and feeling good about getting things done. Eventually the big project is complete.

Exercise is always one of my goals and I want to exercise more this year. On the morning of January 1st, I thought that my one-day goal should be to get outside and take a long walk. New England cold, even on a mild day, can be off-putting to a lazy, last-day-of-vacation, stayed-up-until-2-a.m. slug. Sitting in a comfy chair in front of a fire was making it easy to put off that walk. Eventually my husband and I got motivated, put on our sneakers and had a nice long walk. The reward, besides realizing the one-day resolution, was a stop at a local coffee shop, where we ran into friends and had a nice visit before walking home.

May many more one-day goals be realized this year.

Here are some inspiring words of wisdom and good news to reflect on as we embark on the year 2020.
