Happy Winter Solstice 2022 🌟
This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath ..
~ Margaret Atwood
I owe myself an apology
For all the times
I tore myself apart.
When I neglected my own needs
Lowered my standards
Berated myself
And put myself down.
For the self-sabotage
I continually inflicted upon myself
And the times when I apologised
For being who I was
And expressing myself authentically.
And... I owe myself
The permission to start anew.
To forgive myself
For the battles I fought
That weren’t mine to fight
For all of the love
That I failed to give myself
And for the times when I failed to realise
That rather than being broken
I was worthy of value, respect
And beautiful, brilliant things in life
And that how I treated myself
Dictated how others would view me
And in turn, behave toward me
So by showering myself
With love, kindness, forgiveness and respect
In turn, I could pave the way
For others to do the same.

I call this Ukrainian New Year a tradition of celebrating using the Georgian calendar.
