My writing New Year’s resolution is to add another side to my articles - snippets and stories of kindness and playfulness that bring smiles amid the serious stuff going on.

I'm looking forward to what you will offer, Janice. I always think that smiles and subtle positivity produce their own rewards. Take care and happy new year!

Happy New Year, Janice! Thank you for the mention 🙏.

My writing errs on the side of seriousness, too. It's who I am and what I'm drawn to, but I am going to focus on bringing more lightness to my writing this year.

Some life-saving ideas here, Janice. Thank you. I , myself , have resolved to worry only about those things locally, that I can DO something about. And then get busy. As you say in regard to the mayhem we see on TV "I can’t fix those things - and dwelling on them creates additional stress." And nothing is changed by your stress. Sigh...

Hi Sharron, I really like that solution - identify the local problems and do what I can about them.

7 Grandpets? Who knew?!

I've loved your writing so far, Janice. There are studies that show that playfulness is a great stress reliever. I'm looking forward to learning more through your lens of kindness.

Happy New Year to you. (And thank you for mentioning Kindness Magnet)

Hi Donna, Who would have thought - me who had no pets as a child would have them be so important in my life now. Happy New Year to you and your family.
