Delete1. I only make NYE resolutions if I know I can pretty well keep them.
ReplyDelete2. A couple of nights at a beach resort with family in May, but maybe some solo motor car local travel before then.

4. I plan to take a lot of free local tours and experiences.
5. I find peace from people I know. I don't need more nor think about more.

ReplyDelete2. Prob some summer get away, but the big trip will be in September / October for the Berlin Marathon and travel around that.
3. I'm not left-brained unfortunately. I guess I'll stick to writing.
4. I have a list of fiction and non fiction I want to read.
5. Peace eludes me. One person's death would help, but it will be years before I can exhale.
Photography and writing are art forms.

Delete1. I never make New Years resolutions.
ReplyDelete2. I intend to spend a couple of weeks back in my old stomping grounds of Manitoba (primarily Winnipeg) in the early summer. I've been meaning to go back since 2019 but the pandemic and cataracts interfered until now.
3. As for artistry, I hope this year to do more of my own independent art (as opposed to class assignments). But I'll still take classes too.
4. No plans for reading or learning in 2026 beyond what I usually stumble upon.
5. I'm going to strive extra hard to Live In The Moment in order to find peace and curb anxiety about the state of the world and the future.
