Heartwings Love Notes 860 - No Resolutions This Year

Heartwings says, "Because the future may change and the past is done, our best choice for focus is the present moment."

My columns are often drawn from personal incidences together with my perspective on them. Since some of that perspective is a reflection of my experiences both as a child and as an adult, these often illustrate and even inspire many of the columns I write. It's fun for me to share bits and pieces of the memories I have of times before computers and cell phones, not to mention 24 hour television programming. Some of you may remember the test patterns on the small black and white TV we watched as children. They began when the evening programming ended.

Where do the New Year Resolutions fit into this picture? Quite simply I'm not making any this year. My resolutions do not seem to survive the first few months, and they usually have to do with projects not behaviors. If I could say that the projects I resolved to complete then were indeed successfully accomplished, or the behaviors changed, I might still make a resolution or two. Yet I've come to the conclusion that maybe making a resolution about something to accomplish or even work on for the new year may jinx the project. That worries me, so this year I have resolved not to resolve; I will instead welcome any surprises that the year may have
to offer.

The way things have gone in my life, it seems that everything falls together the way that ultimately works best. So why should I meddle? I do know that there are things I once wished for that I am relieved I didn't get. And things I never thought to wish for that to my delight have. I will leave the resolving and long term planning to the Powers that Be and focus on the present moment in the new year to come. Wait…does that sound like a resolution? Shh, no that's not a resolution, just my focus for my life. Happy New Year to all, I wish you every joy in the year to come.

May you enjoy all that the new yea has to offer.
