new year, new you.

i am probably not unique in the fact that i have a love/hate relationship with new year's resolutions.  on the one hand, the idea of a fresh start, a new beginning, a marked time for change is really appealing.  on the other hand, it always feels like it comes with SO MUCH PRESSURE.  in all caps.  just like that.

so.  this year, i almost resolved not to resolve.  but then i had a change of heart.  and i decided to resolve to resolve gently.  to resolve to do things i *want* to do anyway.  to resolve to do things i *already* do, but to do them slightly better.  as proof of my gentleness, i have not started on a single one of my resolutions.  except, now, this one: to actually write in this space more frequently. even if i feel like i have nothing to say. (thanks for the nudge, darby)

my other resolutions feel mundane, so i'll save listing them out.  but the gist of it is to work towards living the life i want to live, but don't think i have time for.  with some resolve, i'm betting i have more time to do the things i want to do than i think i do. 

happy new year!
