My New Year's Resolution is very simple and very complicated at once. It is to be easier on myself.

Looking back over the past year- and years- I see that I often think and feel in certain ways and think and but simultaneously feel that the way I'm thinking and feeling is all wrong, and how can I be so stupid (my nagging inner voice). Needless to say, this generates considerable confusion and things invariably go wrong- and then my nagging inner voice gets to sit back and say "See? I told you so."

Also, I'll try to take on fewer obligations and work on my own creativity.

I actually made quite a lot of progress on being gentler to myself in 2006, so I'll building on that in 2007.
