This Year I Will....

Intermission by Coeur de Pirate


This year, I will forget last year's hurt, its tears, and its blunders.

I will, however, not forget the great times that made me forge ahead.

This year I will remember that I have 365 days ahead of me to make this ongoing life better than its preceding attempts.


This year, I will refine my wine palette.

I will dabble in the art of cuisine.

I will better my French speaking tongue.

I will eat new foods.

I will penny pinch.

I will reduce my material acquisitions.

I will make more time for dancing.


This year, I will spend more time with loved ones.

I will reach out to old friends.

I will find out more about them and what makes them so.

I will work out less, but harder.

I will wake up on the right side of the bed every day.

I will let the tides turn and ride the wave.

I will not live the same day twice.


This year, I will finally indulge in my craving for a creative life.

I will work towards my goals every day.

I will create with purpose.

I will expose my talent.


This year, I will stand firmly beside my aspirations.

I will make great attempts.

I will be brave.

I will not quit.

I will trust the process.


This year, I will give people the benefit of the doubt.

I will re-evaluate my expectations from others.

I will realize that no one person is perfect.

I will see everything through perfectly imperfect lenses.

I will exercise humility.

I will laugh at myself.

I will be happy all the time.


This year, I will remember what makes me.

I will feed my soul exactly what it needs, not what I think it needs.

I will not get caught up in the useless.

I will nurture my inquisitive mind.

I will expand my horizons.


This year, I will put myself at the top of my priority list.

I will not take anything lying down.

I will be stronger than I have ever been

I will not be mistreated.

I will not be fooled.


This year, I will not let another individual put into question my worth.

I will not be on the receiving end of insolent behaviour.

I will shut out any person undeserving of my time.

I will be chased, not the other way around.


This year, I will be open to love and its splendour.

I will not fall unconditionally, but will let myself fall nevertheless.

I will not be forgotten.

I will remember that I am worth being remembered.



"For last year's words belong to last year's language.  And next year's words await another voice.  And to make an end is to make a beginning" - T.S. Eliot
