Today is the last day of the Christmas celebration for the Catholic Church, and the priest’s homily was about “reaching out for something that is greater than the self.”
I feel like the year 2006 for me was in a lot of ways a year to discover myself and to take time for myself. This year, 2007, I have dubbed “The year of not Rey,” and I will be making strides to reach out for something that is greater than myself.
I don’t know exactly what that means or what that will look like, yet. It might mean more in terms of my family, or a cause, or my community. Or maybe it’s all of the above. Any way it goes, I am excited for what this year has to offer, and excited to get a better sense of myself through reaching out for something that is greater than myself.
