New Year's Resolution: Light

"I cannot cause light;
the most I can do
is try to put myself
in the path of its beam."
-Annie Dillard

I have had years where my resolutions turn into stressful "to do" lists.
It became more about heavy fear of failure and pesky tasks,
than about living better.
So, I'll keep my resolutions simpler this year:
Light.

to live in the light every day.

And while that will take different forms;
the Light of scripture,
savoring healthy food,
a little more doing, a little less wishing,
the light of gratitude and service,

I pray that His light and His grace find me where I am everyday.
