1. Have one fresh, green idea. Not just the dull, rusty I'm-in-hibernation green of my frostbitten jasmine vine or the I-might-be-dying green of the bamboo plant I'm nursing on my porch. I want sap-running green, neon green, spring-onion green...tender green shoots promising succulent, tasty projects.2. Make a map of my day, inspired by Sara Fanelli's kids' book on maps.
3. Work my word for 2010: Change!
4. Make one drawing/watercolor a day no matter how amateurish it looks.
5. Pick something to work on from The Happiness Project.
6. Plan a winter party. Guest list, pinata, new dress, cases of Prosecco, candles candles candles, party cds, glitter.
7. Believe someone is going to rock my world in a good way this year. Please, no rocking my boat, only my world.
8. Love my wrinkles. Or at least be good friends with them. Okay, maybe shake hands with them and have a cup of coffee.
9. Think sexy thoughts. Absolutely necessary for creative mental juiciness.
10. Try writing in the new coffee shop near my office. New thoughts? New ideas? New sense of selfiness?

I was having lunch with two friends the other day and found myself totally smitten with their faces. I lost myself in their cute, crinkly 'crows feet' and caught myself cracking jokes just to see the animation and joy sweep across their beautiful brows. Not a shot of Botox in sight. I pray I have the courage to 'age gracefully' andI accept myself just as God made me...Perfectly imperfect! I fear the time for courage is just beginning to become a challenge. My late 50's are looming.....
