I have rarely made resolutions, knowing from childhood that they fade away by February or March. And this year was no different until a few days into the new year, when I heard of a friend with cancer, then another, and another, and then we had some minor health issues in our own family.
Which made me think.
It was my wake-up call.
This is a forsythia. In most places, it blooms in the spring. Here, it is a middle of the winter bloomer. A promise of what is to come later.
Life in the midst of winter.
So, this year, I have resolved to LIVE. Appreciate my family and friends. Take care of myself. And see everything through a filter of love and humor. And so, with this in mind, here is my first "selfie"
(laugh with me!)
