So, how are the New Year's Resolutions going? Sometimes nothing more than a to-do list for the first week of January, New Year's Resolutions are easy to make and easy to break. I looked back over my blog and last year I had 'intentions' rather than resolutions. I intended to embrace every opportunity that came my way in 2011 and be kind to people as a precursor to love.
So, for 2012, I'm not changing my intentions, they're just going to be suped up.
There'll be no 'keeping-this-for-a-special-occasion'. With freedom I will wallow in spa bath oils in our huge jacuzzi tub; post-detox the best wine will be served on a Wednesday night; all the UK chocolate will be nibbled with pleasure on daily, sometimes hourly, basis; and those beautiful cards will be sent just to say Hello! There will be no hoarding in 2012. There'll be no waiting till tomorrow to show compassion, share an encouraging word or tell anyone I love them - especially the Beloved. Every opportunity will be grasped with abandon and decorated with fabulous jewellery!
I'm still going to seek to be kind, but this year, I must decrease and He, Jesus, must increase. Then love becomes my currency of choice. Oh, that 2012 would be the year that my sought after accolade of 'indiscriminate lover' would be reached.
We all know we get one stab at life, it's not just a run-through. So let's fly 2012 like we stole it - with squealing delight and loving abandon.
