I don't usually do New Year's resolutions-I see them as just another false start for me and most others. But this year I feel able to set some goals for the year, and I think the focus may be a good thing. Too easy to get lost in daily things, both good and bad. I forget to lift my head and see where I am in relation to the universe. Some of these are things I already practice, but I wanted to remind myself of what is important to me as I move into 2011. The gift of a new year...
Balance and gratitude are the overarching goals for 2011.
Too much of anything is probably going to cost me my teeth, my wallet or my soul. And an attitude of thankfulness seems right-I have so much to be thankful for, and it's easy to start griping and forget that.
I went a long time without new friends, having left or lost the friends I had when my children were small by moving across country, being too busy, and inattentive. This year I will nourish my new friendships.
I will get dirt under my fingernails (this is really cheating, as I don't think I could continue to breathe if I didn't garden too).
I will strive to be a good citizen of the world.
