not being a new years resolution person, i am surprised about how flooded i am by so many of them. but perhaps i should just try to keep things simple. i don’t know where to begin.

so i will simply resolve to live less fearfully, if not more courageously, if not more boldly. and then everything else can flow from there. i think that sounds pretty good. somehow i might also be able to fit in piano lessons and learning to speak Italian.

the way this year ended, in an avalanche of fears… the surgery, the healing process, the big decision between 2 jobs in 2 different parts of the country, the huge fears of making the wrong decisions, the fears of certain friendships evaporating, and my attempts to revived them ineffectual. the fears of things being frozen and stuck, the fears of my fears paralyzing me.

but i guess in only a few hours i will have no choice but to move on, as best as i can. and all of those fears will be rendered moot and groundless.
