I used to make all the ‘normal’ resolutions – losing weight, exercising, being a better person, keeping my house clean, etc. etc. ad nauseum.
Since I’m older than dirt, I have changed the idea of resolutions for myself. I don’t know if it’s an ‘improvement’ or not, but it works for me.
My new resolutions –
- I will live in the moment, trying to make every day as joyful as I can.
- I will try to tell and show people how much I love them, how much they mean to me in every way I possible.
- I will take more time to do things that give me joy – hopefully at least once a day.
- I will be more forgiving of myself, because even though I fall short, I AM trying
- AND I’ll be more forgiving of others, trying to be less judgmental. I’ve been noticing ‘judgmental’ in my husband more and more as we age. I’ve got to realize it’s probably inside ME, too, and I’d like to work on getting rid of it.
- I resolve to laugh more -not just a smirk, smile, or grin – but full belly laughs.
- I also resolve to cry when I need to, trying to let go of the reasons behind them – but to get it out, not shove it down inside.
Do you make New Year’s resolutions?
