Signposts for the Journey Through the New Year- Weekly Holiday Assignment

Year's end, all

the corners of this

floating world, swept.

~~Basho  (1644-1694, Japan)

 

Life is like a journey,

Each year a new milestone,

But where is there a signpost? 

A guide to the lost life wanderer?

~~~Theodor Fontane

 

This week, the final week of 2010, create the guide for the lost life wanderer.  Make photos that serve as signposts.

What are the truths you want to carry forward?  Skip the resolutions unless they speak to more of the same and the true.  Affirm what was right, what was good, what was real, what you enjoyed- dig up those images from this past year.  They are your signposts, their addition to your journal creates your guide.   Instead of resolutions to fix what is wrong, affirm what is right, what you need more of in your life... Carry positive energy forward into the new year.

Celebrate your beloved family and your true friends by choosing images to place into your journals.

Welcome 2011!

You know, in an unspoken way, affirming what is right is exactly the attitude I was choosing to following into the coming New year. Funny how life works when you pay attention ;-)
Peace~
