Year after year, for most of my life, I would set resolutions for the new year, ways I will change, things I will start doing. These were typically things I never wanted to do, I was not consistent at, and usually failed at.
I found that setting these resolutions were just another way of beating myself up, keeping myself a failure. Â I say setting a resolution of ACCEPTANCE. Acceptance of ALL PARTS OF MYSELF. Radical acceptance of:
- my treadmill ignoring self,
- my non-waking  up early self,
- my always arriving late self.
Once I began accepting these things I considered what was wrong with me, GUESS WHAT!? I changed.
Have a precious beginning of this New Year. As dear friends of mine say, “enjoy this trip around the sun!”
I still like to make one resolution.

the one and I mean one plus about getting older is that I don’t even attempt New Year’s resolutions. Julie and I had a wonderful lunch with you. See you soon and happy new year. The weekend of the 10th Julie and I are going to visit a friend in South Carolina- stopping in Charleston- I think that it should work. I can’t believe all of the chances that I take in response to Julie.
