for effort (including a set of resolutions for the new year and beyond)

I usually resolve to make no resolutions, so this year, instead, I resolve to do the following:

1. To swear more, and to do it better--with drollery, repartee, and aplomb.
2. To be naked more often.
3. To be as good of a guest as I am a host.
4. To realize that it's not always about me.
5. To eat out more often.
6. To sing, laugh, dance, make art, and write--joyfully and without being self-conscious.
7. To move.
8. To chill.
