This month’s “ten things” list is suitably topical for the beginning of the year.
To quote my friend Katy:
Regular readers will know that I do no do punitive resolutions. I don’t believe in forcing myself into a miserable cycle of activities I really don’t want to do, but feel in some spartan way would be ‘good for me’, and which I torture myself with before inevitably giving up, because they’re hateful and things that are good for me in that way are usually about as much fun as sitting on a spike and eating raw turnips.
However here is a list of 10 things I am going to try to do in 2015, in no special order:
- Kick the depression
- Drink more champagne
- Keep breathing
- Restart meditation
- Take more photographs
- Be drawn/painted/photographed nude by someone other than family
- Have at least one 2 week holiday
- Celebrate my mother’s 100th birthday with her
- Visit Horniman Museum
- Go somewhere/do something I’ve not done before
Some of those are going to be a lot harder than others, and not all are ultimately within my control, so it remains to be seen how successful I shall be, but we’ll give it a go and not be disappointed if we fail.
