New Year Intentions

And here we are, another year and another opportunity for making resolutions. I suppose many who have made the New Year's pledge may have already broken those resolutions, and I suppose that is in part why I chose this year to look at this opportunity as stating intentions, rather than resolutions.

While I may be splitting hairs with the subtle definition variances, http://www.dictionary.com/ defines Intention as, "An act or instance of determining mentally upon some action or result," and Resolution is defined, "A formal expression of opinion or intention made". So, with this English lesson out of the way - I can honestly state that I could list many intentions for the year - but the one that rises above the pact would be to LIVE. Enjoy each day to the fullest, regardless what the day may bring; the good, the bad and the ugly. (And no, I am not a Clint Eastwood fan!) While LIVE may mean something different to each person, to me, it's not to take anything for granted, and to truly enjoy each beautiful day.

Happy New Year and ENJOY each and every day!!

What would be the 10 things you would do before you die? An interesting question asked of me several years back that made me think really hard. (Although, a few years older, a few years wiser - some of my answers may vary slightly.)
