Well, I didn't answer my cell phone today. So that's failed, and I didn't even MAKE that one until yesterday!
I didn't make any other resolutions. It stresses me out. And getting rid of stress was one of my resolutions LAST New Year's...of course, that didn't work out too well, either.
I don't make resolutions anymore...getting too old to keep disappointing myself that way. So, I just go with the flow and try to take baby steps all year long. Sometimes that works...sometimes not so well. But hey, we're all a work in progress. Here are a couple of my favorite passages from Desiderata...
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
