2011
I’m done with resolutions because there is no end to the work of self-improvement, very little is ever resolved. And while optimism may be foolish, there is always room for hope. So I wish this for myself this year: for the presence of mind to shut up. For the presence of mind to smile. For the presence of mind to turn on music, and to turn it off. For the presence of mind to say yes to everything—especially to not cluttering my mind.
