It’s resolution time and it’s about time I made a few lasting changes.
I might be a bit rusty at this sort of thing (it’s been years since my last set), but here goes:
1. Live. Not just survive, but truly live.
2. Be the sort of person I want to see in the world.
3. Laugh. Laugh without derision, without scorn, without mockery. Laugh openly and loudly and with great joy.
4. Keep the snark to a minimum and try to be more absurd.
5. Be ridiculous without resorting to the ridicule of others.
6. Take myself less seriously in the things in life that don’t really matter and more seriously in the matters that do.
7. Remember what used to be important to me and seek it out.
8. Get new socks. You can never have enough socks. (See also: resolutions 4, 5, 6.)
Of course that’s just the short list. I’ve got to keep a bit to myself, now don’t I? After all, the best changes are sometimes the least expected.
Happy New Year, one and all.
