that it is within my power to make 2012 more awesome than it would be without my active participation.
My basic resolution for the year is to live the life I want to live to the best of my ability. I resolve to be present, to be kind, to be well, to take care of myself, mind and body. This will make 2012 awesome, no matter what happens.
To that end, I have resolved to look at the following aspects of my life for improvement:
1. Keep doing the things that already are working to make me healthier and
more centered, including but not limited to pilates, yoga, therapy,
acupuncture, naturopathy, hypnotherapy, supplements and vitamins, and getting more sleep.
2. Drink water. Lots.
3. Be kind. To myself and others, though the first leads to the second.
4. Be social within my abilities to be. Have dinner with C regularly.
5. Be active. Just move. As often as possible.
6. Manage my money more purposefully, within line with my personal priorities.
7. Floss more.
8. Go to at least one cultural outing or event a month.
9. Save for travel. Then travel. Not on credit.
10. Make a plan to meet the biological extended family.
11. Set work goals before March review.
12. Write more.
13. Work out a plan for the cookbook, cook things, learn to gluten-free bake, at least cupcakes.
14. Make a knitting project list on Ravelry, so that I'm not hunting around for patterns when I want a new project.
15. Declutter the apartment, get rid of things I don't use, go through boxes that aren't opened regularly.
16. Be realistic about my needs, about where I am, and what I want.
17. Do monthly focused "challenges" to help create new habits and learn new skills.
Challenge for January: eat at least one serving of fruit and one serving of vegetables every single day. Work towards at least one serving at each meal.
Mostly, I eat a lot of vegetables, but very little fruit. I just don't like a lot of it. Sometimes, I don't eat much produce, and I should eat more. I feel better when I eat more. So I should eat more.
2012 will be a good year. So I intend, so shall it be.
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
