Resolve to Beat the Squirrel



New Year 2014

Squirrels stole my suet. The cage is open and glob of fat gone.

I am not typically a fan of Resolutions yet I am choosing to leave behind an unfavorable habit of trepidation, shoot for passion and light-heartedness as additions to my repertoire for the year ahead. 

I ask my friends today, as though it is my assignment from Psychology class, what they are choosing to focus on this year, if their Resolution declaration is a select area of opportunity or simply trusting the wind of Mother Nature, to blow them in the right direction. I discover a cross section of responses, from determining Resolutions are for the faint of heart, to a long list of thrilling adventures, like they are living their last six months here on earth. A common theme is a decision to be around positive, happy people and definitively not trudging through a mindless, loveless job five days a week.  

This is the year of the Horse, celebrate starting January 31st. The assumable Wood Horse year is bringing good luck and first-rate things, unexpected adventure, a time of fast victories, and surprising romance. It is an excellent year for travel, and the more far away and off the beaten path the better (Izmir, Turkey.) Energy is exceedingly high and production is grandly rewarded. Decisive action, not procrastination, brings victory. Acting fast is essential in a Horse year. If I am not 100% convinced about a decision, then I won’t do it. Events and escapades move so rapidly in a Horse year, I don’t want to gallop off in the wrong direction.

The squirrels are not as smart as me but perhaps more determined. I will secure the suet this time.
