Reasonable Resolutions

Dear Readers,

2022 lays out in front of us and like me, you may be thinking about resolutions. The hard lines, going cold turkey on xyz, big aspirations, we all know how that goes. Here are FOUR ideas I have for a successful January and with some (very) tiny drawings to inspire you.

ONE

Drink a whole glass of water - make it a big one, when you wake up News Years Day! What could be better than starting of the year well hydrated? Sass it up with some fruit. Who knows, one good choice may lead to others.

TWO

Forgive someone. The fall outs and tensions of the past few years have been uncomfortable and heartbreaking. Find it in your heart to forgive the mistakes of others. Do it in your heart, believe it in your soul and move forward. Am I the only one with Lorde’s lyrics “No, I don’t keep a list can’t hold a grudge” stuck in their head? The song is called “Hold No Grudge” if you want to check it out.

THREE

Finish something! Why start something in January? What about finishing a project you abandoned? Take inventory, maybe its a book you really liked but didn’t finish… What about framing that family photo you’ve been meaning to do! Maybe it’s home improvement project, donations you never dropped off, or a craft you forgot about. Whatever it is, you’ll be so glad when you are done. These dolls below need some finishing don’t you think?

FOUR

Write a letter to a friend. Times are tough, reach out just to say hello. All it takes is picking up a pencil - you may be surprised what the words “I’m thinking of you” can do to lift up someone’s day.

Whatever you do in the fresh new year, be good to yourself and others.

Sending smiles and well wishes,

Kirbi
