Happy New Year! Here’s to a year more just and kind than the last. May the fight against systemic injustice grow stronger, and may those who try to uphold those systems change their minds and their ways.
For 2015, I’ve got another list of New Year’s Celebrations to look forward to:
- Go to several of the museums in my new city
- Spend an entire day reading
- Explore a part of Britain I’ve never been to before
- Bake a pie
- Find a real ale I can really enjoy (Britons are obsessed with it and I’m getting used to it)
- Pick an event at random from one of the weekend guides and go to something I’d likely not have considered otherwise
How about you? Any non-resolutions this year?

Celebrations instead of resolutions, I like that!
I’ve picked a phrase, “Happy Screw” (not as dirty as it sounds, but that’s all fine and good too) to remind me to find the good in every situation and feel more optimistic and opportunistic this year. The Happy Screw refers to a design studio’s smiley face screw head–not exactly fixing the world, just making it more fun. I believe that movement toward greater peace and justice is inevitable, and we can come together on many issues of social importance faster if we’re all in a better mood. 🙂
I do admire your ability to find the positive in most situations, Jeannie, while never letting up on improving the world. That’s a valuable balance.
