Resolutions or Intentions?

Resolution noun | res-o-lu-tion| \re-zə -lü- shən\ 1. A firm decision to do or not to do somethingA firm decision? Sounds hard to me. Synonyms of “hard” include resolute, adamant, unfaltering… the list goes on. But there certainly seems to be no room for error. Or change. Certainly no room for glee, or awe.No wonder we fail to achieve our New Year’s resolutions. Resolutions are without surprise, without awe, without glee. It’s a gain that we are supposed to have. One we must achieve.I have before me 12 intentions that I have set to attract in 2019. If I firmly seek glee, if I firmly chase joy by exercising gratitude, I have found that over the last 30 odd years or so that my intentions have often come to be. Always surprisingly, always imperfectly, always less than firm. And always with room for glee.
