I tell people I don't make New Year's resolutions, but I always do. This year's resolutions include the typically annual "I want to lose weight" resolution. Yeah, yeah. But this year I actually have resolutions that may be achievable. (Don't even begin to explain to me how my losing weight resolution is reachable)

1. Write. Write letters, write my blog, write.

2. Be creative. Just make cards, sketch, doodle and no worries about quality.

3. Pay attention. I slipped on ice in my driveway early in Dec. and later in Dec. missed a bottom step. It is time to be more in the moment and slow down (not slowing down so I am laying on the couch more often than I am now)and pay attention to what I am doing.

  4. Make a list of chores, cross them off as accomplished, and complete the list. That's it. And it's enough.
