be it resolved
ahh, a new year!
time (for me) to resolve the following...
...to never resolve anything i can't keep up for the rest of my life.
eating well: pausing to really savor my foods and beverages as much as possible; how they taste and look and feel, their unique flavors and nourishment. trying new things at least once to see if i want to incorporate them into my market shopping and kitchen. no extremes here, dark chocolate has a place right beside kale!
moving well: a body in motion tends to stay in motion. rest days are as essential as baths, sleep, and massage...stretching, weights, yoga, walks, kayaking, biking...enough to feel good and stay healthy; a routine i could keep up at 85 and beyond.
spending well: to spend enough money to enjoy life now and save enough to enjoy life later, too!
loving well: knowing myself enough to serve others well; minimizing anything in me that doesn't contribute to love, peace or wholeness and maximizing everything that DOES for the purpose of making the lives of others a joy. to love your neighbor as yourself means you have to love yourself, too!
learning well: bring it on! i have one more french sauce to make (espagnole) and as soon as the river warms up, sailing lessons are on the horizon. the best teachers in my opinion are constant students who love their local library and a wide range of new experiences.
methinks it's not so much about what we have or don't have, but the ability to ENJOY it all that makes a lovable life.
