This has been my view for the past month. I'm taking all the pretties down this weekend and will surely miss it.
I've never been big on resolutions. I was brought up being taught to "do what you say you're going to do" so I struggle commitments of that sort. This mentality has helped me be a good parent, a good worker, and, for the most part, good to myself. If I did have a resolution, it would be the same one that I've had for the past three years - use less paper towels. Sounds weird right? I guess overall, I would like to be less wasteful. So conjuring up an awareness of something so commonplace seems like a good start.
Have I actually kept to my resolution? I dunno really. I mean, I certainly don't keep count, but I am aware that I can just as easily pick up a washable towel instead of paper for wet hands, spills, and wiping off the counter.
Other awarenesses that I want to create in 2013 are:
Play the edge
Practice Presence
Stop being a "doer"
Find my "I am-ness"
Delay decisions
Know my limits
Be perfectly imperfect
It's so sad taking down the Christmas Tree isn't it? That's such a lovely tree!!
