Rev up my Shimmy

and other New Year’s resolutions

I try to make realistic resolutions for the New Year. One year it was to eat more veggie pockets from D’Angelo’s Sandwich Shop. Another year it was to never withhold a nice thought about someone no matter how embarrassing it feels to tell them.

My resolutions for 2021 are mostly within reach. How about yours?

1. Rev up my shimmy with more jiggle belly and sass
2. Dare to feel beautiful at my age
3. Dress like a Star Trek alien from a Utopian planet
4. Write. When I can’t write, read. When I can’t read, go for a walk.
5. Learn the song “Teen Beat” on drums
6. Finally organize that flashmob
7. Make the most of the Karen meme and get coffee the way I asked for it at Starbucks
8. When I feel bad, do something for someone else
9. Don’t hit the “send” button for at least 8 hours
10. Let the beauty I love be what I do
