Resolutions..

Got any?
Looking back on the past decade.. mine haven't changed! What's with that? Did I grow lazy in my beliefs for change? Was I self-sabotaging? Or did I just take the easy way out?
I always had 3. One for Body/Mind/Spirit.
1) Body- lose 20# - hopefully w/ a magic pill, sans exercise.
2) Mind- Learn Italian- hopefully by osmosis in listening to tapes.
3) Spirit- Meditate 20 minutes a day- whenever I had some time to spare, & my hair was just right.

Hmmmmm.. I wonder why that didn't work for me.
So this year I'm shaking things up a little. Becoming a tad more realistic, while still reaching for some goals.
Hence:
1) Body- This year I was diagnosed hypertensive & diabetic. Time for some maintenance here! This year I resolve to eat healthier, to exercise regularly & to monitor for self-healing.
I will be kinder & gentler with this body that I've been loaned for this time around. I will not be so critical & self-effacing. Realizing that the aging process is part of life, & no one gets out of here alive.. I resolve to enjoy the ride!
2) Mind- I have about 1500 books on my bookshelves right here & now. Never been read.. paid top $ for them.. just waiting my perusal. I think it's time. I may not get through all of them before I transition to the big library in the sky.. but I should go out trying, yes? I resolve to read a good book every week.. be it poetry, the classics or a beach read.
3) Spirit- I'm not going to try to limit or measure my co-Divinity here. I'm thinking I should just be 'open' to what Spirit has for me. I resolve to 'listen', as well as speak. I resolve to express Gratitude in all things in all ways.

So that's it for me.. how about you? Tell me what your 3 resolutions might be.
