"Don't throw away the old bucket until you know whether the new one holds water"
- Swedish Proverb

This line reminds me most of that time of the year - when we take that pen and paper out, stay in one corner, become momentarily introspective, and make that ritual-laden list of what we want to be, hope to be, (but unfortunately still) - can not be.

The proverbial New Year's Resolution.

Here's mine from 2 years ago. And here's mine for next year. - "To be a better person than who I was this year". It may not be smart, nor measurable, or relevant and vaguely attainable - but sure is worth the try. Ika nga e, that it's a step-by-step process, and rattling off that proverbial saying that "in life, the only thing that's constant is change", should remind us to healthily assess ourselves, not just our physical state (by visiting our doctor), our mental health but moreso our spiritual well-being.

So what was your's this year and were you able to do it? What about for the next one? It's ok to share.
