THE BEGINNING IS IN SIGHT

Happy New year!!  

 

Thank God 2016 is over. Certainly a challenging year for many of us, with so many losses of so many great people, politics, peace, sanity, ice. We must stand up and dust ourselves off.

So, what hopes can we dare to pin on 2017? Let us not be hasty.

Instead, here’s a new inventory to help kick start the year with an achievable, monthly to-do list:

  1. Look up Elon Musk and consider the possibility of becoming multi-planetary and plan your escape from earth (read about how he got to where he is – you will trust him). Lets answer David Bowie’s question.
  2. Make sure you get round to watching Adam Curtis’ Hypernormalisation and National Geographics’ Before The Flood (before they remove it completely).
  3. Join a local gym   Go for a walk. Short or long. City or countryside – both are interesting and free.
  4. Next time you feel like shouting obscenities at that DUFUS who just cut you up on the roundabout, let it go instead. Maybe even flash them a winning smile. Reduces resulting stress.
  5. Share a sunrise/sunset watch with a few chums. Flask of tea/hip flask.
  6. Buy something for yourself that makes you feel a bit guilty. Not drugs though, say no to drugs. Was thinking more along the lines of a pair of relatively expensive shoes.
  7. Start thinking about sugar and how much actually enters your bloodstream.
  8. Do something you used to really enjoy as a kid. Knock-and-run, anyone?
  9. Swap Cillit Bang for vinegar and lemon, or just a decent cloth and water.
  10. Learn the position of Jupiter in the night sky. Often confused with Venus. Try Sky Map from the App Store.
  11. Just accept that we are all immigrants somewhere down our family lineage.
  12. Continue to buy less crap.

GOOD LUCK. The force is strong within us.
