grace in small things. 313 of 365.

  1. getting my first hate mail comment because it means that it’s not just my friends that read my blog anymore!
  2. the ridiculous number of page views I’ve had today.
  3. joining twitter because a woman who wrote an article made me laugh out loud several times and I needed to follow her immediately.
  4. sales, and the boots that come home with me because of them.
  5. getting to wish a friend “Happy Birthday!” in a grace in small things post.

and other lofty goals.

I’m not usually one for new year’s resolutions, but I feel as if the start of a new decade deserves a better me, so here it goes… 

I will take better care of my feet because without them, there wouldn’t be any ridiculous dance parties in my living room and my neighbours wouldn’t have anything to watch. 

I will allow my friends to cook for me as often as they want. 

I will not feel bad for destroying my apartment during elaborate craft projects. 

I will nap as much as possible. 

I will not stamp my feet like a four year old when slow tourists get in my way. 

I will embrace my inner sexy librarian. 

I will flirt with many men, and actually mean it sometimes. 

I will do everything in my power not to kill my fish. 

I will stop leaving the salt shaker in random places around the apartment. 

I will remember to phone my mother. 

I will not let the pigeons win.

  1. the asinine conversations of strangers that keep me amused when I have forgotten to bring something to read on the plane.
  2. camera puppets and get rich schemes.
  3. remembering that I live by the ocean.
  4. cream puff towers.
  5. ringing in the new year with people I love, respect and appreciate.

 

Happy New Year!  May 2010 bring you happiness and much grace in all the small things.

Love,

Violet
