Welcoming the New Year

“‘I made no resolutions for the new year,’ writes the author Anaïs Nin, ‘The habit of making plans, of criticising, sanctioning and moulding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.’ This fairly incisive quote comes courtesy of a diary entry from the start of 1927. Instead, the Delta of Venus author compiles a list of 1926’s achievements, of which here are a few: ‘I read 75 books. I recopied about 300 pages from my journal. I made 6 decorative pillows. I re-arranged the books in the library about 10 times. I wrote about 200 dutiful letters. I went to 61 parties and visits. I lived up to my ideals about society by evading its lighter sides as often as possible.’”
From Happy Readings #14: The Housing Lark

Go with courage into the new year, friends.
