New Year's Rulin's

I'm a resolver. I love New Year's. Mostly because the Christmas season is over for another year, but also because of the fresh start feeling.

Seventy years ago, Woody Guthrie made a list of resolutions called his Rulin's.

Here is my list of Rulin's for 2014:

1. Sing for the love of it
2. Help other people to the best of my ability at all times
3. Be kinder than necessary
4. Pay down debt
5. Save up money to travel to see family
6. Learn how to make a decent loaf of rye bread
7. Revive my practice of starting each day with movement
8. Finish many unfinished projects (especially textile projects)
9. Simplify, simplify, simplify

And that should do it. I can hardly wait.
