New Year's Resolutions

So, I have three resolutions for the new year:

(1) Join a sangha. I've inquired about mediation and services The Buddist Temple of Chicago. Zazen meditation on Sundays at 9 a.m. and services at 11. I'll let you know how it works out, as I'm going this Sunday, and hopefully dragging Peter with me.

(2) Start taking dance classes again. I have my first "ballet" class tonight at Joel Hall Dance Center. It is a class specifically for people my age who either haven't danced or used to dance and want to get back into shape. I'm hoping that this will progress into regular higher level dance classes after this 14-week intro.

(3)Be better at remembering people's birthdays. I am buying a small calendar in which I will put all birthdays. I realize that I don't need to change the calendar every year, because though the day of the week will change, the dates of the birthdays will stay the same.

So far so good. However, it's only day number 4 of the new year. But, judging how few people there were in my yoga class last night, I'm more on track with my resolutions than many others...
