As this year gently comes to an end, many of us are thinking of the one about to start. What will it bring us? Will it be better or worse than the ones we have just lived through? And for many, the thought of “what can I do better?” creeps into the mix. Even if you have given up on making “official” New Year’s resolutions (because you know you won’t actually keep them), the end of one year and the beginning of a new one will subconsciously pull at your desire to improve, to be better. It’s human nature. Babylonians were making New Year’s resolutions 4000 years ago! Check out this website if you don’t believe me! Although I am sure some people still resolve to pay their debts or to return borrowed objects, most people make resolutions aimed at improving themselves, such as losing weight, drinking less, etc. There is certainly nothing wrong with these noble thoughts, but I would like to suggest another idea, one that might have a better than 8% chance of success, if only because it is much more pleasurable than going to the gym or cutting out desserts or wine. And that suggestion is: Add some art to your life! Art is a wonderfully easy, guilt-free way to add beauty and pleasure to your life. This could be done many ways, but here are a few suggestions:
So, what do you think? Are you ready to be a better you by becoming a “patron of the arts”? Let me know in the comments below, and all the best for 2023!
