Last year I posted about resolutions and what I was looking forward to doing in 2024.

I still have the tradition of making at least one resolution I know I will be able to keep. Last year, I decided to avoid being the first woman to scale the CN Tower in a tutu, and I’m delighted to report that I succeeded brilliantly in keeping it!

So what’s my one “absolutely keepable” resolution for this year? I resolve to avoid working around the stables in stiletto heels. Less ambitious than last year, but still doable, I think.

But seriously, what other resolutions am I making for 2025?

  • ~ I resolve to live intentionally, to notice the moment I am in more fully and to seek out opportunities to help others, even if it’s only bringing a smile to their face for a moment.
  • ~ I resolve to move forward into 2025 with as positive an attitude as possible. I will avoid letting the disasters I hear about daily around the world make me feel hopeless for humanity.
  • ~ I resolve to maintain my optimism in the face of the daily news, to keep smiling, and to seek out the positive rather than dwell on the negative.

These resolutions are similar to those I made last year, but I feel that I will need to remind myself often, given the state of the world today. I hope that  I will manage to keep them, at least part of the time because 2025 looks like it is shaping up to be a challenging year.

As always, with all the best wishes from me to you, for a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
