2018: Time for a Journey!

---

Somehow the months of November and December have totally flown by and once again, I find myself on the last day of December wondering where the time went. The past year is fading away and it's time to plan for 2018. I love the idea of having an inspiration word to focus my goals for the year...in 2015, it was balance...for 2016, simplicity...and this past year, the goal was mindful. Not that I was always successful, of course! ​

But I refuse to give up! This year, I am going on a journey...
​a year of exploring faith and creativity​.

Although I'm not quite sure how to pack for this journey, I am ready for the adventure to begin. The past year is fading into memory...those final months of teaching, all the planning for retirement, and then several months of wandering off the beaten path trying to find a new road to follow.

​So much of the new year remains an unsolved mystery...
​

FAITH:
​"complete trust or confidence in something or someone unseen"

CREATIVITY:
​"Mental characteristic that allows a person to think outside of the box, which results in innovative or different approaches to a particular task."  
​​from www.business dictionary.com

I knew this JOURNEY was the right one for me when I came across this quote that sums up the two paths I've chosen for my journey...

"Creativity requires the courage
to let go of certainties."
Erich Fromm
