like most resolutions of years past, i resolve to be more present. to be more intentional. to listen more. to quiet myself more, heart and mind and body. i resolve get fresh air, ensure good nights’ sleep, drink lots of water, and read books. to spend wisely, and save meaningfully. there’s nothing particularly unique about these resolutions –i’ve read the same sorts of ones all over the blogosphere. and i will fail, i will stumble, i will not live perfectly. so if nothing else, i resolve to be thankful every day for my blessings. of which there are many.

happy new year to you and yours. may it be your best year yet and may you find things to be thankful for every single day.
