Now let us welcome the New Year,
Full of thins that have never been.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
One year ends, another beins. The poet Rainer Maria Rilke's words challene me to be open to receivin this new beinnin and to welcome it with joyous anticipation. Actually, that poetic quote does not challene me to do anythin, but it was fun to imaine that it did. It is also fun to imaine that I will actually make and keep a list of do-ood resolutions.
As you can imaine, I encourae all thins that are fun and so I have created a list of New Year's Resolutions that will be fun, or at least easy, to keep.
I will drink at least two cups of coffee before noon.
I will continue to purchase sexy rather than comfortable shoes
I will inore dry clean only instructions, simply because I can
I will celebrate the fact that I can order a martini in six different lanuaes
I will let someone special buy me shiny trinkets
I will without notice clap my hands in lee for no reason at all
I will continue to make silly lists that amuse only me.
Share a New Year's resolution that you know you can keep.
I will blog far more than is good for me;-)
