1. Always keep New Year’s resolutions.
2. Get up early and get right out of bed and meditate for ten minutes before starting day (but only after coffee). Am already doing that this morning.
3. Lose weight. Get more fit. Before this happens: 
4. Cut down on wine intake, no matter how stressed I am. Find other ways to handle stress, such as herbal tea.
5. Do something creative/career-oriented every day, and not just watch old episodes of ’70s TV shows on YouTube.
6. Be more patient with other humans and also with myself.
7. Be less gutless.
8. Be less of a ridiculous person.
9. Don’t buy any more lipsticks/lip glosses until have used up all the ones I have, which are myriad.
10. Remember I am lucky to be alive and healthy (touch wood).
11. Be a better girlfriend to Significant Other, who puts up with me for reasons I will never understand.
12. Help as many animals as I can.
13. Try to be as vegan as I can.
14. Read Finnegans Wake (and don’t put an apostrophe in the title, even though I really want to. Joyce wanted the title that way, and yes, I realize it means something).
15. Fight my natural introversion and actually go out sometimes to see friends and family instead of merely maintaining relationship with them over social media.
16. Remember that life is just a bowl of cherries. Don’t take it serious. It’s too mysterious:

It is…not, but try to believe it is! Happy 2016, dear readers.
