Fifteen words for Fifteen

As previously noted, I tend not to value New Year’s Resolutions as a viable move forward. They are somewhat arbitrary and can be both vague and tragically optimistic. So instead I am focussing this coming year on simple things I can do to improve my life and livelihood which don’t have a fixed outcome but a continuous benefit. Five points, each only three words long. That’s not a lot of words. It’s shorter than most psalms, and will most certainly fit on a T-shirt. Or as I like to think of it, aimed right at my attention span. Here are mine:

• More family time
• Enjoy more exercise
• Play more music
• Read more books
• Remember the highs

…and that’s it. May 2015 bring all you want, or failing that at least provide more than you need.

Now you see them, but they’re not there.

When you look at this optical illusion, you should see grey-black spots appearing at the places where white lines cross.

Let me tell you now, in case you had any doubt, that those dots aren’t really there. I know this to be true. I can’t show you what it looks like without the dots though, because your eyes will always add the dots in.

New Year!

Here is my contribution to the New Year celebrations – a fanfare!

New Year. Again.

I shouldn’t be surprised.
I rarely am.
The whole point of this New Year stuff is to make resolutions to improve and be better; and it’s expected that we’ll fail. We’re human, and people are fallible and resistant to change.
