If 82-year-old Paul Anka can sing Imagine live from times square a few minutes before midnight, then I can imagine getting up every morning this year and fathoming doing things for myself that make me feel grateful, purposeful, and contented. Remember the times of our lives. This is it the only rodeo that we can confirm, so why not face it courageously and with good humor? Seems like a good enough plan to me. My goals for this year: 1) Accept myself 2) Love myself 3) Forgive myself 4) challenge myself 5) make space for myself. Each of these can be explained in practical terms: Smile at myself in the mirror. Floss. Show grace. Don’t call myself stupid or judge my past behaviors with my current knowledge and understanding. Take on new roles and responsibilities. Learn a new skill. (Adobe cloud I’m looking at you.) Make my home comfortable and clean. Allow time for creativity. I think if I can imagine doing all of these 2024 we’ll have proven to be a good year, well-spent. Happy New Year!
