For the record, I don't really make resolutions. I realized a long time ago that it was all a giant waste of my time. If I were really going to do those things, I would have already accomplished them. Middle Child asked me recently what my resolutions were going to be this year. I explained my jaded theory and felt bad after he quietly agreed. Should have let him figure this one out on his own. I think I'm going to focus on all of the things I should do but won't and list the things I wish I could make happen in 2010.
1. stop facebooking so much

List of wishes for 2010:
1. I wish I could live more authentically in all areas of my life.
2. I wish I could accept the magic in my life.
3. I wish I could develop my creative interests.
4. I wish I could lovingly embrace my age.

THE END!
