We have limited ideas of what ‘fruitful’ could mean.
The first that comes to mind is money. Money is worthwhile - essential even - but this is not the heart of what I would like to aim for in being fruitful.
These are my hopes for this year.
I aim to be fruitful with smiles; my own and causing others to smile too.
Naturally being fruitful with creativity is high on the list too. Creativity with paint and words is one way to share hope and beauty in this too-sad world.
I aim to be a better listener. I want those I love to feel that they are seen and heard.
In all of these fruits, I would smother them in the syrup of kindness. My ego can get in the way and sour what is meant to be a natural sweetness.
Add the whipped cream of laughter to top it all off. It’s okay if some gets on your nose.
Wishing you each a wonderfully fruitful year, Substack friends!
