This is a new blog. This is a new beginning. It could be a short-lived fad or a long lasting pleasure. It could be interesting to some or to none. I suppose life's like that. We can either draw back from new beginnings, thinking of what we haven't yet mastered or we can plunge in with what resources we have and just see what happens.
I'm plunging in this year. So far I have made a dress for the first time on my new sewing machine and I'm committed to helping with a school assembly for the first time next Monday. I plan to go to Australia for the first time. I have bought winter tyres for the first time. I met my future sister-in-law's parents for the first time the other day. So far these first times have been great. I even wore the dress to meet the in-laws!
No doubt some of my first attempts this year will be a disaster, but I'm learning slowly not to fear the little risks. Maybe soon I'll learn not to fear the medium risks.
To quote someone very famous, "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow has enough worries of its own." More or less.
May your year be full of new experiences, and may every one of them enrich your life.
