The harvests I almost missed
At the beginning of 2026, I wanted to learn how to ride a bike, go skydiving, and travel to London.
None of those desires has materialized yet. Fibroids asked more of my body than I expected, and a few financial setbacks changed what I could prioritize.
The year is not over. Skydiving may still happen. Still, if I measure 2026 only against those three desires, it feels like a slow year.
Then I looked again.
Some of what grew this year was not on the list I made at the beginning. It arrived as work, study, courage, structure, and ideas that became real.
A gentler way to review the year
- What did I hope would happen?
- What changed my capacity or my timing?
- What grew that I did not know to ask for?
- What is still possible before the year closes?
I am learning that a desire can be delayed without being abandoned. I am also learning not to overlook a foundation simply because it did not arrive in the shape I imagined.
Carry this with youA slow year can still be a fruitful year.
