Yom Kippur ended today at sunset.
I didn't fast. I'm not Jewish, but I think the idea of taking a day to fast and think about the mistakes you have made for the past year is not a bad idea.
Probably the biggest thing I should atone for this past year is Gluttony. One of the seven deadly sins. And I think it's safe to say that it can literally kill you. That, paired with my other big one, Sloth - they have been to my detriment in a big way this year. I know better, now it's time to do better.
I regret that I haven't seen much family this year. I need to rectify that in the coming year.
I am sorry for not putting my home in better order, I will use the coming year to turn my home into the calming, welcoming sanctuary that I want it to be.
And I feel bad about my anger. I will work to focus my energy more positively.
Of course, I will keep petting my dog as much as possible, take the best care of my loved ones I can.
And of course, that includes better self-care.
Most of all, I'm going to stop apologizing when it's not called for. Sorry, not sorry.
That's plenty to work on for the next 12 months.
