Q: So, any big 2020 plans?
A: Nothing for New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day, there's a ton of sporting events, plus, I need to make our black-eyed peas and greens for dinner.
Q: What about longer term?
A: I have settled on a word and color for 2020. This is something I first read about in a web group some years back.
Q: Let's hear it.
A: My word is: Adapt. I have always been good at rolling with the punches and making changes on the fly, but adapting is more about bending in a longer term way. A transition from one thing to the next. It indicates mindfulness and intention.
Q: And the color?
A: I almost always gravitate to greens, because of their connotations of health, life and growth. This year, I went with something different:
Q: What does this symbolize to you?
A: I am reminded of times that I've cut or scraped myself enough that I had to regrow some skin. And the new, fresh skin was always smooth and pink. So this still has a regenerative quality to it, without being so obvious. And I think that it dovetails nicely with my adapt theme. Plus, I find it to be a very cool and calming color. Like strawberry ice cream, or a soft eye shadow.
Q: Did you pick a green first, then decide to pivot?
A: Maybe.
Q: Nice color. So, what are your resolutions for the year, aside from pink adaptation?
A: I am getting back to healthy eating ASAP. I plan to journal this year, and I want to keep trying with McSweeney's. Why not? I'm sure I'll come up with some other things - but the healthy lifestyle and journaling are the two I'll commit to.
Q: I thought you were preaching the Gospel of SMART Goals in your last Lunch and Learn, so shouldn't you state those in SMART terms?
A: Ok, so - I'm going to get back on Weight Watchers and track my food day. I want to write in my journal three times a week, and submit to McSweeney's at least once a month. Happy?
Q: Much better. Is there anything else you care to add?
A: Not really - honestly, I'm feeling a little creative drought. I'm thinking it's time to exfoliate, hydrate, detox, and recharge. Oh, and laundry. Always laundry.
