Columnist Alli Harvey shares her outdoor resolutions and intentions from previous years as ideas for anyone who, like her, is still getting settled in their approach and resolve for 2023.
A person walks with a dog along the Coastal Trail at Earthquake Park on Dec. 27, 2021 in Anchorage. My read is that, culturally, there’s an overall feeling of disempowerment after several consecutive years of upheaval. There has been so much loss and grief — loss of life, quality of life, canceled plans , and disappointments.
I find myself like a dog turning around in its bed, trying to figure out where I’d like to settle in. Throughout mid to late December, I start stream-of-consciousness responding to these prompts. I’ll remember more as the month goes on, and sometimes into early January. I open it as many times as I want to refine it. Recently, for instance, I realized I forgot to list the whole “we sold our house” as part of the major events of 2022 — it’s always interesting what rises to the top and what doesn’t.
My word for the coming year is “ease.” I don’t expect my life to be easy — far from it, actually — but I think I can inhabit it in ways that are easier and more fluid. I’ve been trying to more fully internalize the serenity prayer, particularly in recognizing that which I can’t change. Accepting that will help me go with the flow, even when and especially as life throws its inevitable curveballs.
