It's The New Year Intentions

It looks like it's time for the 2014 New Years List...

2013 was a doozie, wasn't it?  Our year was nuts with change, experiences, and did I mention change?

January saw a new job.Onward, everyone a year older. Volunteering in abundance.  The loss of a dear pet. A letter to teachers gone viral. A relationship ended. Walks abound.  New health obtained, eighteen pounds lost.  Travels in mountains. Past revisited and closure sought. Broken hearts.  Renters in my space.  New sports teams. Youth clubs attended.  Work move.  Dating (can we even call it that?)  miserably attempted and failed.  Friendship boundaries defined.  Trust tested. Snow falls in abundance.  Ten pounds found.  University began. Travels to the west coast. Self worth clearly realized.  Tutor found.  Tests passed.  Christmas taken back.  New puppy to ease my soul.  Family connections.  Past anger resurfaced. Friendships that heal wounds.  And here we are, on the heals of 2014...

And so what is it that I seek in 2014?  Resolutions...Simple Resolutions...Complicated Resolutions...As they come, in no particular order... 

Take more pictures. Definitely more pictures. 

Let the found ten pounds be lost again. 

Finish the two university courses I am taking, and re-evaluate the timing of this education and it's purpose. 

Heal my heart and insecurities. 

More dinners at the dinner table, preceded by grace. 

Rid this house renters and the purpose they fill. 

Listen more. 

Slow down...seriously. 

Write more when it matters. 

Resolve anger of past betrayals.  It seems I still have some residual floating about. 

Bust out the snow shoes before the snow melts. And walk, walk, walk when it's gone. 

Go somewhere with a beach.  A nice beach.

Three days away... alone. 

Trust men other than my father :)

See more plays - without being a character in someone else's. 

Hike more hills - literally, not metaphorically. 

Enjoy my life without always having the need for it to be better. Satisfaction is very under estimated. 

It's funny, there are only a few more new things on the list than those repeated year after year.  It's not a hard list to accomplish now is it?  Truth be told, it's only a shadow of what's to come. 

Let it come with grace, and gentle touches. I am ready.
