5 years from now
January 1, 2019
Whether you are taking down decorations today, or just taking a down day after the holidays, its a good time to think. Get a bit of perspective on the first day of a New Year. The 5 year mark is a good measuring tool.
Think five years ago, January 1, 2014. What was important to you at the time? Do you have an old calendar to check. What was your bank account? Your major purchases that year? Greatest set backs and sorrows?
Give thanks for blessings that year. Give thanks for hard lessons as well. What, in hindsight brought more good that we expected at the time?
I asked myself, what will be important 5 years from now? Are my wish lists and goals for this year of any consequence in 2024? If I could fast forward to that year, what would I like to see in my rear view mirror?
