Here we are at the start of a new year - and I know for many its a day of making intentions and promises and looking ahead. The last couple of years have been incredibly hard for me with loss, sadness and disappointment. I am looking forward though and hoping for a better 2025 and I really feel my word for 2025 is trust.
When I googled (as you do) the meaning of trust this came up
The 4 elements of trust (Competency, Consistency, Integrity, and Compassion) are dependent on the way we behave - both individually and collectively. These behaviors come from innate traits that determine how we, as human beings, respond and/or act in any situation.
I found this here -
I think for me and what Im thinking at the moment - I need to trust myself, my beliefs, my thoughts and those around me who love and care for me. The 4 elements described above are things that I really care about and they really resonate with me thats for sure.
Yes I might be sounding a bit philosophical but thats where my mind is going.
Also this year Im super keen to use what I have - sort of the things I have Ive prepared earlier!
Scarily Ive made a list of the things craftwise Ive started and not yet finished and there are a lot more than I thought there were
Here they are for accountability - one list for yarn related things, another for fabric related things, and Im sure there are a few also that dont fit in either group and I still need to complete!
I of course also have a lot of other things Id like to make and create that I havent started so I am going to try to work on something from the unfinished list before I start something new - but Im not going to be strict about it - just that its a bit of guidance.
Im also going to try to not buy anything else unless its needed - and Im leaving the definition of needed as a loose one!
Im also going to try and put myself first- something Im terrible at because I care so much about those who I do love and care about. Saying no to things is so very hard for me, but I will try to do so when needed!
Yes Im not perfect and yes I will possibly fail at some of these intentions (and no Im not going to put a weight loss, eating better or exercising intention forward - but I will try and do these things)
Id like to finish with an excellent quote Ive just come across by Nelson Mandela
May 2025 be kind to me and you as we all journey along the road put before us.
Much Love Di xxx
