New Year's Resolutions I Will Definitely Keep

I will practice insight meditations in which I wish lovingkindness to the world and even my most dire opponents and long-standing foes, or if I cannot get the dial up to lovingkindness, I will strive to send out vibes of lessenedanimosity.

This will be the year I stop over-thinking things. Unless...!!!

I will stop indulging in futile wishes, like unrealistic dreams of wealth, or for a new Joss Whedon series that succeeds on television.

I will take more bold and empathetic photos of the vivid human beings and complex urban spaces around me, and fewer pictures of things in my yard.

I am going to make peace with having bought an Android phone.

When I hang up the bird feeder in the yard, I will stop worrying that I am making the squirrels fat.

I will awaken early for sunrise meditation more.  I will not spend my dawn meditation time thinking about dinner which is twelve hours away.

I will consume more kale and less beer, although if someone wants to create a Kale Beer, I am okay with that.

I will spend more time on crafting insightful blog posts, and less time with my laptop balanced on my tummy laughing at the Honey Badger and guys dancing on YouTube and stuff (BTW, I did definitely not watch either of those again just now).

I promise to be extremely authentic and truthful in what I report about myself on social media, unless it makes me look bad.

Stay tuned.
