twelve traditions- no. 12



the new year's list- in no particular order

i will drink more water,
to compensate my coffee addiction (of course i'm exaggerating).

i will take better care of myself.
those mind, body and spirit thingies. hopefully, i'd get smart, sexy and holy?

i will not feel guilty about watching tv for hours,
on a day when that's all i really want to do.

i will save for a rainy day,
but i will let myself indulge, splurge, once in while, ok twice....

i will be more patient, understanding and kind.

i will make time to do the things i've been needing (but neglecting) to do.
i will find time to do the things i like to do.
i will cut down time on doing things i don't really need to do.

i will stay in contact, reconnect with old friends and family.

i will not let the fear of failure stop me from trying.

i will not obsess about being right and perfect all the time.

i will smile more, frown less.
i'd rather have laugh lines at the corners of my eyes
than have dimples between my eyebrows.

i will let myself lose control, occasionally, when required.

i will sometimes cut myself some slack.

i will have more time spent with the people i love, care for.

let's see how i do. i promise- i will not obsess on this list.
i hope that for all of us, the year that lies ahead is better than the last.
