I resolve.
Dec. 31st, 2008 04:13 pmI've been thinking that we give people gifts for specific reasons, not things we think they need, but that support an aspect of them that we feel drawn to support. At some point today, I decided that I was going to do New Years resolutions based in what I got for Yule in an effort to be more like the me you think I can be. We'll see how well this works, as the experimental data will all be available to me.
Starbucks gift card. Coffee-scented candle: Though distant, I am loved, addictions and all. This year I resolve to be more understanding, more accepting of the wisdom that comes from these small unhealthy comforts.
Silk Harem Pants, purple. Beaded sweater, mauve. Bracelets, copper and bronze: I am beautiful to my mother. My body is a reflection of her own youth. I resolve to take better care of myself, to honor the beauty that we both have worn.
Singing bowl: Douglas favors my spiritual practice with a meditation tool. I'm learning to make it chime and seeing how much of my attention I can put into the harmonics. Every day this year I resolve to do something: meditating, energywork, breathwork, or Singing.
Signed XKCD print: Ghost supports my offbeat humor, and I resolve to share more of that with the world this year.
Shortbus (IMDB page): I am a sexual being, full of relationships and feelings. I resolve to acknowledge those feelings more this year. I resolve to consider myself, to consult my emotions in making decisions, and to share these conclusions with the people they pertain to. And with you guys. You get to hear about everything, eventually. ;)
iTunes gift cards, 2. iPod, apple green: Multiple people encourage me to listen. This year I resolve to be more receptive, to talk less and communicate more.
Where the Wild Things Are card: I am loved, and I will continue to keep letting myself be loved, to keep reaching out for hands to hold, to still my impulse to push those hands away. This year and every year I resolve to be the person I never thought it possible for me to be. Thank you for seeing things in me that are invisible from inside. Thank you.
