Gosh that sounds weird to even type. 2010. Say it in your head. twenty-ten. Sounds like a sci-fi movie!
Of course all the talk this week is about Resolutions. People asking Whats your Resolutions? I’ve read some really lovely posts people have done, reflecting on all the good and the bad from their year, reflecting on things that have made them stronger, more confident, more appreciative. All well written and great for provoking my thoughts on the subject as it applies to me.
But I’m not making any resolutions. Not really.
I am a person in love with beginnings, the first blank page of a new notebook. The first day of the week, the first day of a month. I love the possibilities that lay ahead looking at a blank and unspoiled expanse. So naturally I do have some ‘ideas’ about the new year. But my friends, the older I get the simpler they get. I don’t ‘resolve’ to do anything I am not ‘resolute’ about these ideas. I simply want to listen more, laugh more, judge less, chew longer, move more, and sleep well. And maybe embrace my dreams as possibilities instead of leaving them in my sleep.
And standing here, in January, the blank pages of the calendar ahead of me, Anything is possible.
Happy 2010 to you all. I wish you good food, belly laughter, a good nights sleep & a dream or two to call your own.
