To celebrate another year’s revolution, I’m lifting a post from Lar at leasticoulddo.com, because it’s eloquent, simple, and spot-on:

“Another year, come and gone. And now is the time for people to get all anxious about self imposed resolutions. Over the years, I’ve found most of my resolutions are year round goals. Things like “lose weight”, “manage my time better” and “stop with all the stabby”.

Y’know what? Self-reflection is a good thing. Just do that.

It’s easy to get wound up nowadays that life just blurs. Slow down, take a few moments and re-assess. That’s all. Don’t sweat the formality of a resolution you will like as not wind up breaking in the weeks following. Make that part of your routine to just pause every so often to give yourself that personal acknowledgement of what you’ve accomplished and where to go next. No lists. No soul baring confessions. No radical changes to your lifestyle. Just the satisfaction of catching your breath once in awhile.

Be excellent to each other. “

Now, off to Adam and Katie’s to ring in the New Year – with all three Lord of the Rings movies!!

Happy New Year.
