Today's Something New: I have decided that this year, instead of making any resolution, I'm going to start every day by making a list of those things that I want to accomplish that day. I think AA has it right; making promises every day is a lot more powerful, and will no doubt last longer, than making a promise for life or even for a year. But I want this to be more than a list of To-do's. Besides specific chores and errands, I want to have on that list what I might want to accomplish emotionally, and how I want to be in the world, and small changes I'd like to make to my behavior. For example, the number of steps to take or the amount of time I will spend working out; how much time to spend writing, or doing something about writing, such as making submissions to theaters; continuing to look for something new I can try every day; continuing to explore and challenge myself; people I want to be sure to write to (email yes, but I also still write letters and cards) or reach out to; in what specific way I'm going to eat more healthily; something I might do for Sweet Hubby.
I wish you and those you love a year of good health and peace of mind, as well whatever you most wish for yourself. Look for the good and you will find it. Be honorable and goodness will find you. And, as they say in Shangri-La, be kind.
Cheers and cheering.
