A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic.... Do your New Year's Resolutions "go in one year and out the other"?
Back in January of 2008, The Quote of the Week featured a new way of of making New Year's Resolutions (thanks to Kristine Kane's blog). She suggests that instead of making resolutions, we would pick a word or words that would guide us throughout the year. It would remind us of living our lives at the TO BE level instead of the To Do or To Have level.
This year I am choosing just one word and that is Openness! (My words for 2008 were Gratitude, Appreciation, Listen and Learn and for 2009, they were Lighter, Possibilities and Tranquility.)
What will be your word or words will you chose that will guide you throughout the year? Care to share yours?

The year's doors open

Last night you told me:

fabricate a plan

Tomorrow, we shall have to invent,
once more,

New Year's Quote; 2002
Recipe for a Happy New Year; Serves One, with plenty for everybody!
Ingredients:12 Months; faith; patience; courage; work; hope; faith; generosity; kindness fun ; play; humor; love; unselfishness; cheerfulness; meditation; resolution
Take twelve whole months and see that they are thoroughly free from old memories of bitterness, rancor and hate. Cleanse them completely from every clinging spite. Pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness. Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
Cut these months into twenty eight, thirty or thirty-one different parts but don’t make the whole batch at once (so many persons spoil the entire lot this way). Prepare one day at a time.
Into each day put one part faith, one part patience, one part courage, and one part work.
Add to each day one part hope, faithfulness, generosity, and one good deed.
Put in about one heaping tablespoon of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of play, and a heaping cupful of good humor.
Pour all of this into a kettle of love. Cook thoroughly over radiant joy, garnish with a smile, and serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness.

Life is on your side
"Most people think life is against them, trying to piss them off, that they are unlucky, that things don't work out for them. Einstein said that "the most important decision we will ever make in our lives is whether we believe we live in a friendly or an unfriendly universe." If you want to get good at change, you must believe life is your partner, on your side, conspiring for greater good coming into your life -- despite the apparent immediate loss it might appear to be. Change isn't there to hurt, anger or annoy you. It's there to bring new things, people, jobs, opportunities. Always."

__________
Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.
M Scott Peck

"Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it."
Rabindranath Tagore

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."
Henri J.M. Nouwen (The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey)
