My birthday is coming up-another new year for me on the planet-and so I practice my tradition of my birthday resolutions:

I will continue to conduct myself with self-love, self esteem,and self-respect, thinking positively about myself and my life, and of my abilities.

I will continue to be faithful to Jewish practice, religion, culture, and tradition.

I will continue the art, craft, and business of writing, attending writing gatherings (when they resume), submitting my writing for publication, etc.

I will continue to take part in acting and other artistic endeavors.

I will continue to seek out and utilize all forms of education-libraries, classes, readings, galleries, museums, etc.
