a new year's resolution

to seek elegance rather than luxury. refinement rather than fashion.
to be worthy more than respectable, wealthy & not rich.
to work hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly.
to listen to stars & birds, babies & sages, with an open heart.
to bear all things cheerfully, do all things bravely, & never hurry.

& of course..
to tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time. ^^
