Never be afraid to reinvent. A new year gives you permission to be whoever you wanna be.

The past year has not seen me sketching in nature as often as I would have liked to, life seemed to take on a will of its own!
I never make resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, saying I'm going to exercise, saying I'm going to sketch more, sanctioning and moulding my life, is too much of a daily event for me. But if I did have to make one resolution, it would be "Don't weep for yesterday, it is over. Smile from your heart, for you have been given a brand new year. Make the most of it."

Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right!

Maree, that is WONDERFUL, thank you! I don't make resolutions either, unless it is my usual one to keep my eyes (and heart) as open as I'm able and to celebrate whenever I can.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate! A good creed to live by, the world definitely needs less judgement. Have a good year and I'll join you in the celebrations!
