Seeing all the new year’s wishes - and a Happy New Year to you all - I realize I’ve lost even that cautious optimism I used to feel on January 1. Not that I’ve swung the other way or anything…. Just that there is absolutely nothing here. No sense of turning page. No more hope or trepidation than usual. No misty images of what might be or what I might strive for or look forward to. Nothing. I think the shock of last year just chopped off my tomorrows like a guillotine. I can’t feel further than the beef stew in the crockpot. It’s not terrible. Kind of steals a holiday I suppose, but I’ve been off work for a week so it sorta blends in anyway. This moment here is fine. Good. Lovely. Everyone’s okay. My world is intact. I’ll just live here til the next one comes along.

I feel optimistic. Not sure why ...not in a delusional way ..just in general. Maybe it's just the thought of future opportunities or just looking forward to the sun shining. I appreciate simple things . I feel more appreciative of simple things now . Maybe even more so now. I'm aware not all people see it this way and that's ok too . I'm just feeling grateful that I get to wake up and have the sunshine and coffee.

@SW-User this is just beautiful. Makes my heart happy for you! 🤗💞😄
I was feeling this same way today. Like everything has a sense of finality to it. Like the best days are over. Like everything has been said.

Aww, I'm sorry you're not in the spirit, but I have been in your place before. so I completely understand.🤗

For me, this past year was one of enormous growth I never expected. I even enjoyed Christmas for the first time in a long time, so 2023 feels like it'll be a very hopeful and optimistic year for once.
My hopes are that something magical comes your way and renews you. If nothing else, that you simply feel content in each moment.🌷

Bug hugs Nik! I think we need to keep our expectations low and hopefully be able to appreciate what might come along. 🥂

@LunarOrbit 🤗🤗 For certain, I may not be looking ahead with bright-eyed anticipation, but I’ll be no less grateful for the good stuff! 😅🙏👍👍🥂😄

Oh man, I'm having a similar sentiments kind of new year's day too.
I completely agree. And it’s not a negative thing for me, just perhaps grounded in reality in believing it’s just another day, and tuning of the calendar.
I see the optimism in others, especially the younger ones, as the clock ticks down, and amazingly (to me) in the adults as well. But if I was alone, I probably wouldn’t even acknowledge the moment. Maybe I’d be sleeping 😴
Make a change!! Do something fun!!

@SStarfish LOL I reckon I’ll do both. 🤷‍♀️ I’m not stagnant or lifeless or down. Just present and acutely aware that what will be will be.
