Happy New Year ~ More or Less

I love the New Year's holiday more than most any.  It's that blank page of a new year that calls to me, that fresh start, those yet-to-be-realized opportunities.......all that lies ahead.  It's exhilarating to try to imagine what the year might hold, what strides may be made, what new challenges can be overcome.

I am not a fan, however, of  all those New Year's resolutions.  You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones you make every December and have forgotten about by January 10th.  I'm gonna' lose 5 pounds.  Or 25 pounds.  I'm gonna' join a gym.  I'm gonna' stop smoking.  Again.  I'm gonna' spend more time with the family.  I'm gonna' work harder.  Oooops.  If I work harder, how will I spend more time with the family???  Etc., etc., etc........

I, instead, take the broader approach of doing "more".  Do more of the "right" things (and we all know what those are);  Likewise, do less of the the wrong things (and we all know what those are, too.)

Do more good.
Do less harm.

Drink more water.
Drink less soda.

Eat more fresh stuff.
Eat less empty calories.

Drink more water.

Be more active.
Spend less time sitting on the couch.

Be more kind.
Be less self-centered.

Drink more water.

Be more tolerant.
Be less arrogant.

Be more giving.
Be less self centered.

Drink more water.

Be more forgiving.
Be more loving.
Be more generous.

Drink more water.

Eat more salad.
Eat more simply.
Eat more whole foods.

Drink more water.

Be less judgemental.
Be less unhappy.
Be less anal.

Drink more water.

Do more random acts of kindness.
Be less selfish.

Be more positive.
Be less negative.

Give more compliments.
Be less harsh.

And drink more water.
