Resolving 11
>> Friday, January 7, 2011
If you've been reading this at all you know that New Years Resolutions have become important for me since 2008. Why? Because they have been turning my world completely upside down.
In 2008 I was desperately depressed, so I climbed a hill on a beach and I made a resolution to face my fears.
In 2009 I made a wish to experience the world as a child, shortly after which I visited Berlin for the first time and promptly followed my captured heart to make an international move with little more than inspiration to back me.
In 2010 I resolved to spend more time in my own skin and after 30 years of sporting a massive mane of hair, shaved my head- totally bald.
So when it comes time on Jan 1st to decide, I really have to think about what I want, what I need and what I am making wishes for in the coming 12 months. But it is the belief, not the wishes that make these changes come true. So in the very spirit of what I have chosen I present these as my offering to a life worth building...a life I love.
In no particular order:
1) Remember this is all an Experiment
2) be Brave
3) Forgive Myself
Let the games begin...

I love it all but I think you just jinxed yourself. (The staying single one.) I think because you put it out there the universe is going to send Prince Charming and probably on a horse. ;-)
PS I love the first three. Only because #4 would be a very bad resolution for me!
I changed that 4th one as I realized it was the only was saying something I WASNT going to do this year. All the rest are positive goals.
Grading on a resolution curve, I merely wish to be assured you won't be cuttng off any lmbs in 2011! :)
No worries Mr Mos, I plan to keep my limbs. Of that you can be certain! ;)
