Woodie Guthrie's New Years Resolution List 1942
such a clever list; we should just adopt most of these resolutions for ourselves
I didn't make a resolution list, but I recently read a few collections of wise words
that I will take with me into the New Year
"What do you serve? Your compulsive actions or your deeper meditations?
Your addictions or your desires? Your need for escape or your need for accomplishment?"
"When in doubt, dance it out"

bonne année!
it's time to reflect...it's time to get mushy and sentimental and probably shed a tear as i remember what happened this past year.
this past year was, hands down, the greatest challenge i've ever had! i've been through some shit in other eras that it seems strange to compare, but, damn! sometimes emotions are so consuming, that you can't believe you are literally still alive and breathing after having felt them.
twenty-eight, the hardest year, can also be labelled as the BEST year! i don't know if that's the truth, either one of those labels, but based on the way i'm feeling right now (for the past four months) ... i just can't get over how blessed i am! i'm too happy, i'm gonna bust, i'm freakin' me out.
this post is really just for me, maybe to read next year on the day of my birth, but i want to remember some things i survived, some things i discovered, and the gifts that were sent to me.
twenty-eight things that happened in the twenty-eighth year
1. cried myself to sleep on my twenty-eighth birthday
2. was in belle river for new years and went on a journey late at night in the snow

14. learned some detroit street smarts the hard way
15. started writing a new business plan
16. got a weiner dog (!!!)

18. went on a dream road trip with my mom
19. lost my mind in san francisco

while i am waiting
right now i live in the boonies, and i travel to detroit often because it's where my heart resides. i've spent enough time waiting in line at the border to contemplate making a list of things i enjoy doing while i wait to cross over to the other side.
- paint my nails
- knit
- fix up a weird hair doo
- apply make-up
- clean my car
- eat emergency nuts
- eat the fruit i meant to eat on the way to the border but forgot about
- make a cute list

paper moon
i found 'Paper Moon' at a yard sale, and it was this font that first caught my attention
for 25 cents it was worth a try, and turns out to be an amazing film
Tatum O'Neal stars along side her father, Ryan O'Neal
in this 1973 film, set in the mid-west during the Great Depression
Tatum as 'Addie' is funny, so cute, and an amazing actress
In 1974 she won an Oscar for best supporting actress in this film which you can watch here
best movie i've seen in a long time

common cold
today i woke up sick...but with a will to combat
i stayed in bed as long as possible scheming a wake-up-get-well-soon plan
step one: put on your Dusted 'Total Dust' record
step two: have a hot epsom salt bath and gargle hot salt water
as long as possible while in the bath
step three: put on your coziest jammies, and your hand-knit socks
step four: make a berry-kale-flaxseed smoothie for breakfast
step five: steep fresh ginger in boiling pot and add
lemon and unpasteurized honey
step six: get in bed and spend some quality time with your cat
and your ginger tea and your book
step seven: go back to sleep as long as possible
