So I have no ‘resolutions’. A resolution seems to have no margin for error; it’s defined as a firm decision to do or not do something. Well there are days my friends that the resolve to perhaps not eat that amazing meal may just not be that important. I’m kind of flawed so I best scrap the perfection plan. Instead I will have things I will ‘challenge’ myself to do. Some may be outrageous and some will not be. In fact I have given a motto to one of my ‘challenges’ for this year; “The thing is so difficult I can not help but attempt it.” Others will be a little more ordinary. Can I allow myself to once again enjoy a love of reading? That is achievable. I just have to allow myself the time. I’m going to be less about more and more about less. If it can be said with less or done with less than so it will be. Will 2016 be my best year ever? Every year I have lived has taught me something and helped me to be the work in progress that I am. What I have learned in 2015 is that the value of family and friends is not cliche…it has in fact saved my life. So my 2016 new words to live by are ambitious and resilient while never losing sight of the ones that got me through 2015; dignity, purpose and most importantly hope.
