New Year Resolutions

I don't really believe in new year resolutions.  I don't ever remember making them so I don't have any experience or any attachment to them or feel the need to make them.  This year I have made so many healthy changes in my diet long before New Year's that I don't need to reiterate them as a resolution.  I'm already doing it.  I suppose I could make an "I plan to exercise more" resolution but I already do that too, for the most part quite regularly.  I will admit that I have been on a 3 month hiatus from my exercise routine but looking back I think it was because of my diet changes.  Now that the new diet has acclimatized itself, I'm ready to get fit again. 

I've always liked the expression "never say never".  This is a good place to insert it.  Not that I ever said I would never make a New Year's resolution because over the years I've learned not to say never.  I just never planned on making any...but this year I think I am going to make an official new year's resolution.  I came across a status update on facebook on Jan 1st that caught my eye "any grudges or ill will you have towards someone, leave it in 2010.  Let's all start 2011 with love in our hearts."  The author is Eoin Finn, the infamous blissologist from Vancouver, BC.  I have one relationship in my life that is not the best it could be and I feel helpless because there is nothing I can or can't do to make it better or (hopefully) worse.  As they say the only person you can change is you.  So my new year's resolution is to leave my grudges behind and with effort move forward without any expectations or attachments to this someone.  Is indifference a negative word?  I hope not.  And for the record I don't have any ill will towards this someone and do my best to approach them with compassion because I only have room in my heart for love these days.  I can see how holding onto negative feelings towards someone can have a negative affect on your own health and that is my motive, to be free of negativity.
