Mine is not to make any new year resolutions as I can't keep them!
Mine are:
- Keep writing and get published. I've started another novel (I'm now roughly 10,000 words into it) that I want to feel in my hands as a real book.
- Smoke less. Not sure about stopping completely, but at least keeping it a bit in check when stress is high would be a first step.
- Get outside more. I've let myself get complacent this year. So more swimming, more archery, more running this year, and to hell with the weather, it's never right. And I won't have to consciously think about losing weight...
- Re-learn guitar playing. I've hardly touched one in ten years, but I've gifted myself one for Christmas.
- Tackle one of the big mountains (big as in almost 3,000 meters) just a little over two hours of driving away. There's nothing more grounding and more humbling than fighting your way to the summit, and little matching the monumental beauty of the alps in late summer.
Get my life together
Get into better shape
Declutter
Lose weight (lots to shift so a long hard slog ahead)
Cut back on wine
Mine are:
1. Cut way back on drinking Diet Cokes
2. Accomplished at work than last year
3. Get in better shape
1. enjoy time with family & friends as much as possible
2. read more for enjoyment
3. get more exercise
4. have dinner out, alone, with my husband at least once a month
5. be more organized
6. worry less
Mine are
1. To learn more
2. Write more
3. Have fun in everything I do
2015 goals:
1) take more naked selfies because this stuff is going start sagging one day
2) dress up more because I just like buying new clothes
3) be more optimistic because worry causes wrinkles.
4) do more art because writing is art
5) improve, improve, improve for obvious reasons
5) take no shit because it leaves a nasty taste in my mouth
6) love myself more
7) love myself more because it means so much I had to say it twice
As a person who resolutely never resolves to making any resolutions, I resolve that I shall resolutely attempt to make a resolution.
A poetry selection!
To stop sending pictures of my appendages to anyone that will talk to me (ok ok really next week I start this one)
quit fucking smoking this year.
“It's nice sometimes to open up the heart a little and let some hurt come in. It proves you're still alive.”
Don t make any, so then I don t break them
To find who I am again and for once what makes me happy...
embrace all of the good things life has to offer
Increase my Physical Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence, and (Spiritual Intelligence; Existential Intelligence).
Mine is to have as much fun as possible and live each day like it is the last
My New Year's Resolution is to not make New Year's Resolutions (I never keep them long!)
