Looking forward, looking back is the theme of my 2015 New Year's Resolutions. I am really not one for making promises for the coming year at the beginning of January. However, I am an inveterate list maker and adhere firmly to the tenet that if it is on the list, it will get done - eventually. I have put big ones on the list like buy new house, write book, buy car alongside get toilet paper at Costco and plant bulbs. All these things get done. The other day as I looked through my 2014 calendar, a year of extreme highs and lows, I moved in my mind a year hence and imagined myself marveling at the wonders of the past 2015. That magical afternoon spent whale watching off the Channel Islands in February. The sigh of satisfaction when I finished my middle grade novel that has percolated for far too long. The heartfelt joy of seeing my senior dog, Dudley still alive on his 14th birthday in December. And then there was that day when I could actually do a handstand without fear.
Looking forward, looking back is powerfully satisfying for me. If you will it, it is no dream.
