My New Year's Resolution for 2008

I'm not going to loose weight, or exercise more, or make more money or get a better job. There is nothing wrong with those things. I might even do them. But this year, I have a resolution that I don't even begin to know how to pursue, and I will have to wait on the Universe to give it to me.

This year, I resolve to become difficult to offend.  As in, if you mean to insult me, it will go over my head. If you want to hurt my feelings, you will have to slap my face to get my attention first.

It isn't that I want to be tough. I already am tough. I want to be the kind of person who assumes the best about everything the people around her do and say. I want to be the person who does not make up ugly pictures to go with the words or ugly motives to go with the actions. I want to be accepting and kind to the people I meet, and assume that they are accepting and kind toward me, at least until they have proven otherwise. 

It might be a silly goal, but I think it's a nice one, and I'm ready to give myself a break.

Happy New Year and Peace to you all
