Resolutions

Some years I've written a whole notebook page full of New Year's resolutions.
Lately, I'm thinking that's a little much.

Last year I didn't bother to write even one resolution, didn't get swept into New Year's Eve but that didn't seem quite right. I like a hubbub and a reason to say 'hip, hip' and a kind of loud 'hooray.' I like the promise of the next 365 days, all those chances.

So this year I have one resolution.
Worry less.

I like the sound of that kind of 2014. When the worries stop by, I'll gently push them off and
let them flutter somewhere else, away.
