You should decorate in 3's or 5's...great little advice from my momma.
So I'm shooting for 5.
This year, I'm aiming for compassion(afeelingofdistressandpityforthesufferingormisfortuneofanother,oftenincludingthedesiretoalleviateit) I'm thinking if we all had a little more compassion, our world would change a bit.
I need to simplify my life (tomakelesscomplexorcomplicated;makeplaineroreasier). This means, buying less. Getting rid of more. And using what I have. To be simple, resourceful.
Grow!(theactorprocess,oramannerofgrowing;development;gradualincrease) No, not my waistline...but to grow in learning...expanding my mind. Photography. Yoga. Read more. Write more. Spiritually.
Lead(toinfluenceorinduce;cause) eeek! Not sure why I picked this one, but I did. I think because I'm trying (really hard) to be a good example (mainly for lulu). And if lead means making my girlfriends get crazy on a random Friday night or to lead a group at my church, so be it! Lead.
Give!(topresentvoluntarilyandwithoutexpectingcompensation) This is a BIG one for me...since I'm one of the most selfish people, and by selfish I mean, the meanest person Coaster Boy knows! So I plan to give more. Whether it be my time or my Costco pizza to the homeless man. I will give more. I will try.
