Well, here we are, not only the first day of a new year but The first day of 2012 – the year that is the subject of much intrigue. Time will tell if the Maya, and others knew something that we do not.
I’m not going to dwell on that, and I’m not going to dwell on the subject of New Years resolutions – I’ve always thought they just seem to be a way to set yourself up to fail. Instead I’ll mention an idea a very good friend of mine mentioned, she is going to make a list of things she’d like to do this year – maybe 52 things, maybe not. A bucket list of sorts, but one for this year, not for the rest of her life.
Initially I thought it was rather like making many resolutions, but then got to think what would I put on my list if I had one? I realised my list would contain things that I would LIKE to do, not things I thought I SHOULD do, in that respect it is very different from resolutions. Even that word makes me shudder – Resolutions require you to be Resolute!
A list however big or small would be a reminder, a gentle nundge not to forget the things that may make your spirit soar, or give you the sense of finally taking time to do something you’ve always wanted to.
What would be on your list?
Mine would contain making time for creativity, I’d like to take out my Dad’s watercolours and spend time exploring possibilities with them. I’d learn some new things (I just registered for a beginners Animal Communication Course as a start) and definitely want to travel east, or west.
Last year my Blog got neglected, I’d really like to use it more as a tool to track and share my progress with dfferent things throughout the year. To help I’ve just downloaded an ap I can use on my tablet to make updating easier — fingers crossed we are off to a good start.
Happy New Year to you, may it bring the things you desire whether you make a list or not!
I like the idea of your list, I’ve kinda did that but it was based around my business. No, goals just ideas and where I see myself in a year.
Now reading your list you say travel west and east, what about south? There is always an open invite!!
Wishing you and your family a wonderful and blessed new year.
Happy New Year to you Paula, that sounds like a great way to build your business, good luck
The only reason I said east and west is that is where my daughters are, thank you for reminding me about your open invitation — you never know, I might end up on your doorstep one day!
