well, to dwell upon the subject a little more ... here's a little bric-a-brac, things that came to my mind when I thought of all the things that I wouldn't make into new year's resolutions ... which doesn't mean I'm not serious about them ... I am ... but I so dislike dogmas ... I might just call them everlasting all year options, some already in practice, some firm intentions, some worth a try, some mere aspects of what I talk about in today's other blog ... anyway, here they are:
What I might do this year (and any other) without making any resolution to do so...
go to bed earlier ... sculpt a raptor ... throw away old things I've kept for too long ... paint my kitchen ... eat more fruits ... relax more ... seek connection ... confront things bravely ... be open for the extraordinary, new and unusual ... be patient ... call my friends more often ... visit my dad ... have fun ... be crazy ... ride my bike ... be giggly and goofy and all silly lilli ... be decisive in my action ... be true and authentic ... appreciate my friends ... travel ... finish old arguments ... go hiking ... be reliable ... say yes more often than maybe ... kiss people I love ... do things passionately but with compassion for others ... smile ... end old habits that keep me up at night ... visit far away friends ... get rid of what is not healthy ... call my landlord ... be mindful ... rollerskate ... communicate ... be less expectant ... be there for people who need me ... see more live music ... think of drinking enough BEFORE I dehydrate ... eat whatever I feel like in whatever amounts ... be willing to take risks ... fall in love ... be considerate ... gain weight ... be serene ... be a little naughty at times ... be conscious of my needs as much as of my responsibilities ... plant flowers ... leave the Church ... go out more often ... cook dinner for myself ... make new friends ... make doctor's appointments ... spend less time in front of the computer ... spend a lot of time with my nephew ... be honest with people ... try not to hurt anybody's feelings ... be more enthusiastic ... paint again ... find out who I am ... face my fears ... get rid of old ballast ... be genuine ... drink more tea ... tidy out the cellar ... take my meditation more seriously again ... pay more attention to my instincts ... be happy ... spend time all by myself ... be content ... start knitting socks ... be loud ... be silent ... be more understanding of other's faults and acknowledge my own ... avoid making too many plans ... be open for the unexpected ... simply be myself.
