Be outside every day, with or without the dogs. Close my eyes and listen. 2. Read at least one hundred pages. Read more. Devour books whole. 3. Have dates with my husband. 4. Cook something new. 5. A poem, every morning, renewing that ritual. See the world with new eyes, somehow, through art, through writing, through living. Belated, but mine:

I swear there was a quote I read once, something about the person who you wish to be and what are you waiting for, start being that person *now*. So I have been pondering just that -- what self-definition do I wish to live by, and what *am* I waiting for? Start living that way already! Hmm, my top five... 1. spend my day at home, time divided between the art studio + outdoors 2. eat wholesome foods (avoid the processed junk) 3. yoga/meditation 4. so something thoughtful and 'just because' (random gifts, phone calls, etc) 5. spend quality time with my family, fully focused on the moment Interesting to see that there is really nothing stopping me from doing at least 4 of those 5 things, if not all of them... p.s. a visit here *always* inspires me to live more mindfully. Your words always have a way of reminding me that life is indeed worth living fully! xo It must be something in the air, as I have been thinking of a similar concept.
