What are your New Year’s resolutions?


I’m resolving to take a class this winter, take better care of myself, be discovered by a publisher, write poetry (and words for songs), climb things that afford good views (like hills or bluffs), do something with paint and/or mixed media, spend time with family and friends, help others, start a prayer circle, give away stuff that others need more than I do, walk and ride bicycles more places than last year, laugh more, sleep more, and find joy without glittering snowflakes to tame the biting winds of winter.  I’ve got more things to add to the list, but that will be for New Year’s resolutions installment #2 in a few months.  

Today made me miss the mild 40 degree F temperatures we’d been experiencing as the wind froze my naked face this evening.  Even running man looked a bit stiffer than usual.  Running man is a trim, older gent wearing a glow-in-the-dark vest who can be seen briskly jogging through the neighborhood about the same time every night.  He doesn’t say “hi” or wave to anyone, he just keeps running in his own space and time.   I wonder what he resolved to do in 2012.  How about you?
