New Year - New Thoughts
Sunday, January 01, 2012
I don't usually actually make New Year's resolutions. I like to make goals for myself all of the time, so it seems sort of redundant.
But, this year there are a couple of things that I really do "resolve" to do.
1. I resolve to eat as "vegan" of a diet as I can. This can be difficult when eating out or with friends. And reading all of the ingredients on packages is quite tedious. But I feel very strongly about this in my life and hope that I can make a difference in my health, the invironment and for farm animals everywhere.
2. Secondly, and I just thought of this today, I resolve to try to live every day as if I am on vacation. I thought about how I slow down my movements, my thoughts, my interactions when I am on vacation. I tend to enjoy moments more on vacation. That could be because I am away from regular surroundings where people and things become mundane chores, but I think it might have more to do with a state of mind. This one will be tough. I think I am up for it.
As for goals - those will start soon and continue throughout the year. I am really looking forward to a very healthy, happy and fun 2012. Hope you are, too!
