pancakes with ice cream

in another day a new decade will start. have you been wished a happy decade? that scares me somehow, to be wished a happy next ten years! that's a lot of time. it's much easier to live happy from day to day, moment to the very next moment, kind of like a to~ do list that's not got too much on it so when the day is done and you've actually ticked off each line there's that satisfying sense of accomplishment. or if your like me you cheat a little by adding what you didn't do to the next day, ha ha hee, so you can crumple up today's list. but back to my idea.



... instead of making new years resolutions, maybe this list i've found would work for you too. what do you want in your day, everyday? this is a question worth thinking about and then doing. these are some things you might include in your day. if you like. :)



everyday



~ long deep breathing.

~ a yoga asana (posture or stretch).

~ time for quiet introspection.

~ time to just "be".

~ meditation.

~ silence.

~ prayer.

~ connection with yourself, others and spirit.

~ enjoying nature.

~ being in gratitude.

~ writing in your journal.

~ hugging someone.

~ listening to music.

~ drinking champagne. heehee.

~ singing a song.

~ writing a poem.

~ creating artwork.

~ knitting.

~ gardening.

~ taking a walk, or a run or a swim or a bike...

~ doing a service.

~ visiting a friend.

~ communing with your pet.

~ embracing life.



see what you'd like to include in your day, every day. it doesn't have to be very many things, just whatever makes your heart sing, as my beautiful friend ribbon says.



happy new year everyone, here's to health, happiness, prosperity, family, friends, much love and lot's more blogging in 2010!
