| I bought a Mediterranean cooking magazine yesterday. I am resolved to try many of the recipes. Made a nice Moroccan soup last night. Will make Koshari tomorrow. I am resolved to finish 2 quilts that I started last year: One wool applique and one pieced. I am working on Debussy's Preludes and am resolved to learn them this year. (I'm about ready to record Voiles and will post it when I do.) I am resolved to buy a snow blower. |

| Do more art. And focus on and appreciate what I have, rather than what I am missing.

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

| Exercise more. Play more piano. Those two shouldn't be hard, since I did very little of either this year. There's nowhere to go but up. I'm trying to come up with a mid-life shift in attitude away from self-improvement and toward self-care. I enjoy playing the piano and I enjoy some exercise. What I really need to do is make more spaces in my days for things that are nurturing. Instead, I strike things off a to-do list and then I'm so burned out that I don't have the get-up-and-go to look for a new piece to play or to put on exercise clothes and hit the yoga mat, even though I know that I would enjoy those things more than an hour on the computer. I've made some small inroads here. Let's see how 2018 goes. |

Yes! Add play more music to my list. Our son is visiting, he has been taking voice and guitar lessons, and I told him to bring his music - we’ve been playing (uke, guitar, piano) and singing every day and it’s been really fun.

| I resolve not to pick up the nose flute. That’s a resolution I’ll definitely keep.

| Self-cultivation vs. self-improvement. I like this attitude: self-improvement resolutions imply that something's wrong with you that you're supposed to fix. Self-cultivation is about doing more of the things that bring you joy. Let's do it! |

Or pick the nose flute. I'm not going to do that either.
