Paradise Lost... ...

I resolve

Dec 29, 2004

At this time of year, like everyone else, I've grown a bit nostalgic- thinking of the year past, the friends I made, the friends I lost touch with, the places I went, the things I did and saw. They call it taking stock of your life, and for me, its my chance to make a list of what went down, checking it twice, seeing where I was naughty or was nice, and THEN making resolutions to do better in the coming year. Its the symbolic chance to start fresh in a new year. Nothing too prophetic here.

As I read the Digital Haus Frau's blog today, it kind of helped to pull together my swirling thoughts that for a while had been trying to coalesce, but some how, was missing something to make it all mean "SOMETHING". I could only second her thoughts and attempt to ponder what my contribution to "to thinking more about the Big Stuff" would be and how I could help. So, in no particular order, here are my few New Years resolutions. None will probably knock your socks off, but I think its time to get back to the basics, to what really matters, and try to just be better.

  1. Be happy
  2. Be nice
  3. Take care of myself
  4. Care for others
  5. Be a part of the solution (read: the Big Stuff)

Its kinda of exciting to think there is a shiny new year just waiting for us to create. It holds all sorts of undreamed of possibilities. What do you resolve for the New Year?
