I
became less anxious last year. It really didn’t take long for me to feel a wave
of ease. I wasn’t sure I could do it with a simple decision, but I feel good
about the progress. I still have certain tendencies, I pray a lot more than
normal on airplanes and I hold my breath when I get home until I hear the
jingle of my dog’s collar – but overall, I feel like a whole new person after
2013.
My
resolution for the next 11.75 months should probably be to accept that God’s
timing is best even if it doesn’t align with my own. My level of impatience is
excrutiating. Instead, here are eleven things on my (not all-inclusive) list
for 2014:
1.
Read better books.
2.
Watch all episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm, from
the beginning.
3.
Learn to make delicious coffee in the French
press.
4.
Stay in a cabin for a weekend.
5.
Sip whiskey during grown up get togethers.
6.
Go to a winery.
7.
See more of upstate New York.
8.
Take another west coast trip.
9.
Get more takeout.
10.
Stop obsessing about bad skin.
11.
Less phone internetting.
Going
to eat some soup now. Happy New Year. Hope you learn and love a lot, have few
things to complain about, and laugh at everything - because life is
really strange and funny.
