I'm not very good at resolutions. I like clean slates, fresh starts, new notebooks, and I LOVE a clean calendar. But these days, I need next year's calendar before Thanksgiving, and this year I had to buy an 18-month calendar that started last July for next year. It was the only thing that suited my needs That Day when I needed it. So it's clean, but not new for January 1.
This year, I read this blog post about writing yourself a "wellness prescription." As someone who has minor but relatively debilitating medical issues that can only be improved with the choices I make in my daily life, it really resonated that my life is the prescription I need to solve my issues. Huh.
So in order to work towards personal goals in all aspects of my life, I thought I'd set goals and challenges rather than make resolutions for 2012. I am going to put together a list of things I want to do in 2012. Then I'm going to figure out what I need to do to achieve them, and set those as goals. I'm thinking one challenge a month, with some over-arching ideas and plans will do quite nicely.
Stay tuned. I'll be posting some goals, some challenges, some plans, and some inspiration as a lead up to 2012. I've got a lot to do if the world is going to end next year.
Moving parts in rubbing contact require lubrication to avoid excessive wear. Honorifics and formal politeness provide lubrication where people rub together. Often the very young, the untravelled, the naive, the unsophisticated deplore these formalities as empty, meaningless, or dishonest, and scorn to use them. No matter how pure their motives, they thereby throw sand into the machinery that does not work too well at best. -- Robert A. Heinlein
