could not agree more! Expectations are the root of misery. It's not easy to tamp them down, but I try to think, when I'm disappointed, whether my expectations were the problem and almost always they were. So at least I have some agency, I'm not powerless! Bless you Joyce, your pieces are so wise.
I hear you loud and clear. And I LOVE your idea of a gap year. It will allow you to look and listen at a pace that is comfortable. Better to be thankful what what you experienced rather than wished you would have. Here’s to the next trip around the sun filled with adventures ❤️
“Not only do I need a project, I need to wander around in a world that wakes up my senses with its strangeness and beauty which send me tingling into wonder and awe.”
I agree, Joyce. And projects are simply means to relationship
Joyce, I can so relate to this post. I am longing to travel, as you said, "I need to wander around in a world that wakes up my senses with its strangeness and beauty which send me tingling into wonder and awe." Wanderlust has never been so strong for me as it is now.
But there is something larger at play for you today... Wishing you a wonderful new year around the sun! May you find your project, travels to strange and beautiful places, always, no matter where you are, tingle with wonder and awe!

Congrats on another revolution around the sun! May you have a healthy and fascinating year ahead, Joyce.
Consider this; the Solstice is tugging at the universe this week. You may find that you are in it's emergent grasp - not a bad place to be. 🎆
Something tells me the project you're seeking is seeking you, as they say. Here's wishing you an amazing year, Joyce!
Sounds great! I hope you’ll drop into our neck of the woods! Our door is open!
Happy Birthday, Joyce. What a gift to yourself... a gap year! You have health and resources - it sounds wonderful!
Just drop by to say hi and have a look around as this is the close to travel I get at the moment
Travel does stimulate the mind and also our desires. Your gap year of seeing what happens sounds like a good choice. Buen suerte, amiga!
