“Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.”
Hal Borland
As we begin taking down the decorations and packing another holiday season away, the rituals that we complain about trigger an innate reaction in each of us. Packing away the ornaments and decorations becomes a metaphor for packing away another year. We put away the old, we begin cleaning out not just closets but thoughts in our head.
What will you be happy to pack away this year? What wonderful memories will you cherish and keep high on the stack? We all have things to clean out, put away and new items to display. What are those moments you just can’t pack up yet?
This week brings packing, fun and reflection. Take time for all the rituals and realize that each step leads you closer to your New Year.
