Week 95 - Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to what 2022 has to offer -- maybe a safe and effective Covid vaccine for the under-fives...? Keep your fingers crossed!
The freedom a fresh year brings is invigorating, so I understand why our cultural tradition is to make New Year's Resolutions. Is it just semantics if I decide to set goals for the year, rather than "resolutions"? Pedant that I can be, I looked up both words (lexico.com) and found some lovely cross-disciplinary concepts for both:
Resolution
1. A firm decision to do or not to do something.
2. The quality of being determined or resolute.
3. The action of solving a problem, dispute, or contentious matter; (music) the passing of a discord into a concord during the course of changing harmony; (medicine) the disappearance of inflammation, or of any other symptom or condition.
4. (Chemistry) The process of reducing or separating something into its components; (physics) the replacing of a single force or other vector quantity by two or more jointly equivalent to it.
5. The smallest interval measurable by a scientific (especially optical) instrument; the resolving power.
6. The conversion of something abstract into another form.
Goal
1. (in football, soccer, rugby, hockey, and some other games) a pair of posts linked by a crossbar and often with a net attached behind it, forming a space into or over which the ball has to be sent in order to score; an instance of sending the ball into or over the goal, especially as a unit of scoring in a game; a cage or basket used as a goal in other sports.
2. The object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result; the destination of a journey.
As it often goes in these weekly emails, I find so much clarity while exploring different topics. So when I started this email I was emphatically thinking that New Year's Resolutions aren't for me per se, but more of a blend of these two words. Resogoal? Goalsolution? Gesolution? Whatever you want to call it, my blended definition of how I want to live my life in 2022 sounds like this:
Firmly deciding, after reducing an abstract problem into its components, to proceed on a journey toward harmony.
My New Year's hope for all of us that we choose to proceed on our journey in wellness with harmony and the determination to solve problems.
Here's what's on the schedule this week:

Warmly,
Harriet
