One. One. One. One.

This year, I'm taking a different approach to New Years Resolutions. 

I've never taken them too seriously, but I believe that maybe if I look at it backwards this year I will be more successful. I suppose it's the American "self-help" and living-a-life-of-constant-change mentalities that fuel our need to beat ourselves up during this milestone, but instead of examining myself throughout the past year and looking at all of the things I could have done better, all of the things I shouldn't have done and adding it all up into one big pile of things to be changed- I should look at the the things done well. The things worth carrying over into this new year. Maybe in the next year those abilities, traits and actions will shine truer because I acknowledged them. Doesn't it make sense to become a fuller, more satisfied version of yourself rather than forcing yourself to view all the skeletons in the closet again? 

So here's to getting things right once in a while and sweeping the insignificant under the rug.
