Laugh more, worry less. Spend less time being entertained and more time being creative. Drink less, exercise more. Eat more fruit and fewer french fries. Take more bubble baths, make fewer to-do lists. Go to the beach more and hate this place less. Cook adventurous meals more and go to the same old restaurants less. Go to the beach more and limit my horizons less. Dance more, sit less. Write more. Ruminate less. Spend less money. Make more money! Make my husband laugh. Make my mother smile. Make homemade pasta. Make funky jewelry. Make my business more successful. Make my business less stressful. Play with paints and clay and paper. Play with the cat. Play guitar. Play the ukulele. Play Scrabble. Wear more scarves and fewer frowns. Discover new places. Discover new music. Uncover ideas. Complain less, sing more.
Laugh more. Worry less.

Claire, I don’t make such concrete resolutions, but if I did, we would have many in common!
If you fulfull even a few of the things on your wish list, it should be a rich year ahead.
Make sure to find time to continue with your delightful blog posts. Let us know when you make a particularly clever Scrabble play. My mom and I were so well matched at Scrabble that we’d often end a game with a mere 5- or 10-point spread.

I was actually hoping my resolutions were pretty vague…or at least quantitative rather than qualitative.
Barry and I are pretty well matched at Scrabble…as opposed to Trivial Pursuit, where he beats me every time. Damn sports questions.
