I have been floating through the last several years on auto pilot. More details on that in a later blog. I am at long last in a place where I can start living my life purposefully. With color. I desire richness and beauty. I desire rituals and traditions to mark the passage of time and events. I will no longer watch my life pass by my eyes as a spectator. Which brings me to my resolutions for this year 2012.
2012 Bring the Color In
1. Take more photos of everything.
2.Make some grown up friends that are nourishing and within my traveling means.
3.Sit daily. By sit I mean meditate, however I do not really like using the word meditate. I think meditate is an overused, over popularized word that nearly everyone has a preconceived notion about. Therefore, I say sit.
4.Work towards getting my BSN.
5. Eat fruit and veggies with every meal. I would also like to start a more organized meal plan.
6. Make most gifts handmade gifts.
7. Honor the Day of the Dead. I have wanted to do this for several years. A post I read in a friend's blog Death Sits Next to Us at Supper was everything that I needed to convince myself to start celebrating. In addition to celebrating a "new" holy day, I want to add more tradition to the holy days we already celebrate.
8. Plant more herbs.
9. Not mention "he who shall not be named" this entire year.Everything that can be said about it has been said. It is time to move on to more productive, peaceful, lovely thoughts and conversations. I will not speak of "he who shall not be named" until the day that someone in similar circumstances will find the information useful.
10. For this new year I gave myself the gift of being done with nicotine. I will keep you posted on how that goes.
I am looking forward to the gifts this new year has to offer. I am looking forward to hearing back from you all. I am looking forward to learning how to be a pro-blogger!
How do you add color to your life?
