What if, instead of giving tangible (or possibly China-made) gifts this holiday, we gave each other 3 "commitments" or behaviors that we feel will improve the current condition/state of the planet. These can of course be individual desires of more far-reaching acts. Examples: I am going to drive my vehicle less this coming 6 months. I am going to eat more when I feel myself getting hungry rather than often out of a state of boredom. I am going to adopt a new skill that I've been looking to learn for quite some time. I will join a group or couple of others with some sort of similar belief pattern/system and see how this goes. These things all are expressions to another being, please note.
Since all things ultimately are related, what I'm saying is that IT DOESN'T MATTER. Change is so damn hard for some of us in some ways because we can't connect dots or have difficulty seeing and knowing this relatedness. The human condition is not dissimilar from a flower or cacti in that each are looking to grow to some degree. While writing that, I noticed that all statements began with "I am going" or "I will." Maybe notice that if nothing else in this smattering.
Ultimately, waiting until New Year's might be the (annual?) problem to begin with.
