Today’s Resolution: Write a (Disposable) Love Letter

Saint Valentine’s Day is technically a Christian holiday meant to honor Saint Valentine, but was deleted from the Catholic books back in 1969 (appropriate?) by the Pope and has since been celebrated by anyone and everyone ever since.

Generally, the “holiday” is meant to show that special someone that you love them. Or rather, since you may do that every day, it’s an excuse to show them a little extra appreciation. Or even more accurately, it’s an excuse to eat heart-shaped red-velvet cupcakes and eat a fancy dinner. And who can hate that?

Today’s Resolution: Go Left When You Should Go Right

Today’s objective is to get lost, and not in the “get outta here” kind of way. Instead of finding your way today, take a wrong turn instead. Instead of going wherever the GPS tells you to go, or wherever your hiking trail guides you, use your intuition. Keep your GPS for backup of course, but take some time out today and see how your sense of direction is first. Perhaps you’ll discover a new place, a new route, or maybe you’ll just get lost. Don’t forget to enjoy the ride/walk/slide along the way, because sometimes it’s OK not to ask for directions.

Perhaps you even want to go about it the old fashioned way, and that’s cool too. Today your resolution is simply to re-connect with a long lost friend, and perhaps even appreciate the tools that we now have at our fingertips to do this in ways our great grandparents never would have imagined.
