Happy New Year!

There’s much chit chat about New Year’s resolutions in the days leading up to the turning of the year. Some lists seem so unrealistic, you just know the treadmill will become the clothes rack before Valentine’s Day and the new diet will be abandoned before St. Patrick’s Day. In light of this, I offer the following suggestions:

Laugh - any chance you get, including at yourself
Love - yourself, your pet, your family, your world
Sing - in the shower or out, on or off key, but with enthusiasm
Move - walk, dance, shift your perspective
Breathe - deeply - to relax, to calm, to excite and one big one just before you leap into something new
Try - something new, something different - brussels sprouts, a new author, a new craft
Gratitude - big or small, find three things to feel grateful for every single day

Here’s to 2008 and all our dreams coming true...
