What a wonderful list of New Years resolutions. I’ve got only one New Years resolution and it is the same as one of yours. I want to be a kinder person to others. Simple yet oh so powerful.

Get some of those very low cut tennis socks…white cotton ones. Go see the Chemist and buy a tube of pure lanolin. Apply liberally to poor sore feet at bedtime and cover with said socks. Within a week you will have feet like a baby. Happy New Years.,cheers!!!!!

RYN: If one had to choose, I believe being kind to oneself is more important than being kind to others. Why? It’s kind of like learning to love yourself so you can truly love others. Just interchange love with kindness. Example: My neighbor is 92 years old and I have been helping her for years. I was showing kindness to her but it had begun to make me feel unhappy because she was taking advantage of me. And so, I pulled back. I did not make myself available to her any longer. As is often said, I set my boundaries. I am so much happier now. I have time to relax on the weekends when before I was on the go doing for her. Does the fact that I placed my happiness above hers make me an unkind person? No, I don’t think it does. I still do little things for her once in a while but nothing like it was before. And now, my giving is not based in obligation and I no longer feel resentful. It feels so good to be kind to myself and make myself happy. We first have to learn how to make ourselves happy before we can bestow happiness upon others. Is this how you feel too?

thank you for your encouraging note, BSHG! not patronizing at all. I hear you re. safety. it’s funny, though. our real safety is in being our most true selves. it’s just getting through that illusion that is the tricky/fun part. now to read your resolutions! 🙂

Oh, I can borrow some of these – particularly the human relations ones. and particularly about apologizing for neglect & showing appreciation. I relate. & it comes down to accepting being so loved & loving right back. keeping heart open. hardly a big problem & pretty lovely, when we think of it. 🙂
