New Year, New Moon

Merry meet and blessed be!

Today is the first new moon of the new year, the first Uposatha. For those who made new year's resolutions, are you still on track? Why not make smaller goals? Track your progress over a week or month instead of a year. My goal is to start walking again. Now that Yule has passed, the days are starting to get longer. It's not pitch black by the time I go on my lunch break.

The new moon is a time of reflection, of starting new goals. State your goals in a positive manner. Say "I will start taking the stairs" instead of "I will stop using the elevator".

Namaste
