New Years Resolutions

Here I am at a cafe writing my new years resolutions like I do every year, feeling somewhat hung over and bleary-eyed, like I do every year. What's most striking to me is that unlike previous years, I am not feeling melancholy but invigorated. This year speaks promise unlike any previous years. Since taking deciding to run with my desire to live in Sweden, I've been feeling a push in life that was sorely lacking before. It's almost as if life has, at least temporarily, refused to feel mundane. Death and taxes be damned! I'm outta here! (Provided a few things fall into place and I visit schools in Stockholm and still like it.)

Beyond all other possible resolutions, I want to follow my desires where they lead me, but follow them wisely, with patience and foresight for what will fulfill my desires in the future, too. My future move to Sweden may be one example of that, but there are bound to be many more.
