I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions. . .mostly because I either forget I made them or make them so stupidly unreachable that there’s no way I can meet them. Conventional wisdom would say to modify the resolutions I make and to make them more attainable, but my wisdom says to ditch them altogether.

Instead, I’ve compiled 20 things I’m looking forward to in 2020.

• Sunsets on the beach
• Making Santa Rosa Beach home
• Going to Disney World
• Doing church at Point Washington
• Building relationships with kids and their families at PWUMC
• Building my own relationships and friendships in Florida
• Visiting Dallas
• Reading more books than I read in 2019
• Writing more than I wrote in 2019
• Having good hair days
• Working hard so I can play harder
• Eating good meals and having good conversations with good people
• Getting good sleep
• Finding art to put on my walls in my house
• Getting all the snuggles from my cuddly puppy
• Actually having a tan
• Good hugs
• Seeing movies that make me laugh or cry (or both)
• watching the sun come up over the bay
• Choosing joy … even in the muck

Even though there is nothing magical about the start of a new year, it is an exciting prospect. Here’s to looking ahead with great expectancy!

Peace be the journey.
