Frequently New Year's resolutions are about making new goals but this year I decided instead to think about what I don't want 2011 to be about- what I’d like to rid from my life that has basically been driving me a little craze-eee. You all can probably relate about something in your own life that every time you have to deal with it you’re like “This is driving me insane AGAIN ! This _____ is making me cranky and isn’t allowing me to age gracefully damn it!” Grrrr….. So I've devised a list- a short, very simple list, of three things that I want to eliminate from my daily life as much as possible in 2011:
- Do any of you get in a car with someone whose driving scares you? Well I have this situation in my world and I am tired of bracing and breaking and white knuckling it. In 2011, I vow to take the wheel as much as possible when I am with them.
- Do any of you have a particularly messy person in your life whose personal things you always have to maneuver around? Me too! This year we’ve already had a
discussionhead-on about it and we've made an agreement so that our physical space will be less chaotic. Sounds so petty but to me it's already made a big difference.
- Lastly, like many of you maybe, I try to reply to emails and phone calls right away. This year I've taken on a new approach: unless it's time sensitive, tomorrow or even the next day, is fine. Or maybe never :-) Enough of this verging-on-Type-A- personality behavior...
One of my favorite comics has been on my studio bulletin board for years. It makes me laugh every time I look at it. I've posted it below for you to see. I unfortunately don't have any idea who created it.
Here it is close-up:
