This year, 2021, is an extraordinary time. What are your intentions (not resolutions) this year? Â How do you want to look back at this year from New Yearâs Eve, 2021? Â What did you achieve? Â What did you contribute?
Here are a few suggestions for 2021 intentions:
- Â Give more of yourself than last year. Â Our world is turned upside down right now. Â How could you help others? Â Each of us knows someone, a relative or neighbor, especially the elderly, who could use assistance. Help with groceries could be a lifesaver. Â Be a Lifesaver this year.
- Take extra good care of yourself. Better diet, exercise in or outdoors will contribute to your well-being. Â Be an example of self-care.
- READ: Â How about âWar and Peace? Only kidding
 However, reading fiction or nonfiction exercises your noggin.  Be smarter this year.
- Be quiet, meditate. Giving the noggin a rest actually increases awareness. Â Be more aware.
- We are all under great stress, emotionally and financially. If you have the resources, share any way you can.
- Cook! Paint! Write! Â Use your creativity. Â It keeps you sane!
- Be the change you want to see in the world!
âGo placidly amid the noise & haste.  And remember what peace there may be in silenceâŠYou are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees & the stars; you have a right to be here.  And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it shouldâŠâ  (Desiderata by Max Ehrmann)
