ABCs of Resolutions

Always do right. 
Bring joy, beauty and love to all we encounter. 
Cook and eat healthy fresh foods. 
Drink more water. 
Enjoy music every day. 
Floss daily, brush regularly. 
Gather resources and be a good steward. 
Have and meet financial goals for all those rainy days. 
Insist on getting enough sleep every night. 
Journey to new destinations
Keep the litter box only as clean as necessary, maybe a little less than necessary, because life is too short to spend on cat poop. 
Learn a new skill or language: mathematical, musical, crafty or lingual. 
Memorize a new joke every day. Jenna's latest: "Why do seagulls fly over the sea? Because if they flew over the bay they would be bagels!" 
Never waste tears on spilled milk unless you are really hell- bent on following G. Then maybe see a therapist. 
Once a season check fire detectors, furnace filters, pantries and safety equipment. Potty-train household humans less than 36" tall, because ditto for human poop. 
Question authority. Unless you are in the military. Or value your job. 
Read a new book each week
Smile more.  
Turn electronics & TV off after an hour each day. 
Unclutter and organize home, computer files, email, and cars. 
Volunteer. 
Write, call and connect more to friends and loved-ones afar.
EXercise every day.
Yes, stay educated and informed about the world.
Zestfully greet each day.
