This year, my resolution is to be more mindful. Yes, that's all. I'm in the middle of reading a book called "The Year of Living Biblically," in which the author attempts to identify and follow all the laws and principles set forth by the Bible, even, he notes, if certain religions don't follow theses laws anymore. What results is not only the intended humor of certain misunderstandings of seemingly strange rules, but the surprise of a new understanding of spirituality. Maybe, he realizes, it isn't necessary to delve into every law and simultaneously follow each to the the T. Maybe it isn't even possible. But taking time out to try to follow as many good rules as you can remind yourself of at once can only result positively!

Beautiful post, Lindsey. And beautiful picture. I love the attitude of mindfulness and appreciation, not deprivation and self-shaming. Year of Living Biblically is on my to-read list for January.
I wish I could finish a book in a month! Speed-reading was one wonderful thing I never learned from you (but there are so many great things I DID learn)! Maybe speed-reading should be my resolution, haha.
