Ring Out the Old

On the east coast of the USA, the new year will start in less than nine hours. Every year, for the past dozen or so, I sit down and write out my goals for the upcoming year. I usually do this between Christmas and New Year's Eve. This year, I started my list, without consulting last year's, and stopped about ten or so in. Instead of writing my goals, first I thought, I'll write out what I am grateful for now. 

Here are a few:
  1. Ability to swim (both literally and metaphorically)
  2. Seeing beauty
  3. Creative
  4. Making things an adventure and/or fun
  5. Grateful I have things to be grateful for.

Here are some changes I've made in the last year that have helped:
  1. I stopped watching TV.  (also: I stopped watching/reading/listening to news.)                         
  2. I try to have a good night's sleep.                                                                  
  3. I'm more aware of "humor." AND I take things less seriously.
  4. I say "no" to naysayers.
  5. I find more reasons to celebrate. And to have some bubbly!



Happy New Year!
