I am not interested in making the New Year's decisions.But this year,there came a decisive moment.It came when my adult children,who'd been home for two weeks,headed back to their homes.There was a sadness I felt as I waved their cars out of sight,not knowing when I'd see them again.But there was also a knowing in that moment that something in me needed to change.So I asked myself, "What is truly good in your life?"
   What is good is my relationships with my children,but not only those relationships.What also keeps my heart beating is creating a home,no matter who is there,and cooking balanced,plant-based meals,even if just for me.I find joy in nature and connections with close friends and family.I love doing photography and writing and teaching myself piano.
   Whatever was missing from my life,at the end of last year I knew about the parts that worked.As winter ended and the visiting children prepared to leave,I looked to the future.
   I think of my friend,Lisa,who in May lost her husband of 30 years to cancer,and who found herself on New Year's Eve with no one to be with.Her aloneness was lasting in that turning-point moment,but her sadness was momentary (短暫的). "I realized I had a choice," she told me.Instead of giving way to loneliness and despair,she chose to find something productive to do.
   We humans can become bored with defeat.We know something is just the other side.Like a new year,I have two choices.I can brand myself as the longs-uffering mother who never figured out how to live on after her children left.Or I can take to the piano in the center of the house each day and practice Ode to Joy with one hand until such time as I feel ready to play with two.

  • 3.Before my first hike to the Rocky Mountains,I was a homebody.I had friends to hang out with,several hobbies,and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without going anywhere.I thought there was no difference between seeing something on TV and seeing something with one's own eyes.
