A Year To Imagine

Me enjoying the new cow blanket I got over the holidays.

“And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been.” — Rainer Maria Rilke

I came across this quote in the early part of January, and it stopped me in my tracks.

Without realizing it, I had flipped the calendar to a New Year without so much as a pause to think about what I want this year to be.

You could say that after the longer holiday break, I simply hit “repeat” and proceeded with things just as they had always been.

But what if I took a beat to stop, breathe, and imagine what a literal new year could look like?

I don’t know about you, but I definitely have a bucket list full of things that have never been. Yet.

So take a moment with me to pause, breathe, and imagine the year you want.
