2021 New Year’s Intention

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned on here before that I don’t often make new year’s resolutions. But I do occasionally pick a word of intention for the year. It was all the rage a few years ago; Karen Walrond wrote a good post about it here.

So, I have picked a word of intention for 2021, and it is Curate. Rather than being stuck in frustration, disappointment, and anger that my plans for the next phase of my life have been derailed by my chronic illness/disability, I am trying to reframe it as an opportunity to curate my life by letting go of things that no longer serve me, whether that is former ambitions, emotional baggage, or physical possessions.

When I was busy chasing after goals, I didn’t spend much time being introspective, nor did I spend time dealing with the stuff I’d accumulated. But now I have time…so I’m working on rightsizing my life and making sure it aligns with my values.

Toward that end, I have decided to give away things that I do not need, but which other people might need and/or enjoy. All of these items are either new or gently used.

I’ve never done an online giveaway before, so I’ll be learning as I go. Please bear with me.

Here’s the first giveaway: A pair of L/XL ProCompression zebra-striped compression socks. According to ProCompression, these socks will fit men’s size 11-13, women’s size 11-14, and a 16-20″ calf-size. These socks are new, in the packaging.

So, if you could use a pair of compression socks, leave a comment. I’ll select one winner. [Sorry, U.S. residents only, since I’m paying for the postage.]

Happy New Year!
