It occurred to me that for an author with a fictional island called Resolution, perhaps I needed to devise some for 2012.

But then I decided to approach the New Year period the same way I approached this Christmas. When asked (many times) what our plans were, my answer was simply – ‘The plan is to have no plans.’ I have to say; it worked superbly. I didn’t cook, clean, entertain, or over eat. It was peace – pure peace, and quality time with those I loved.

So, riding high on this triumphant experience, my New Year’s Resolution is to make no resolutions. I will simply let my yes be yes, and my no be no. In fact, I consider that this is the very best way to be.
