Happy new year. Each of the last few years, I’ve written a blog post about resolutions during the first week of January. While I encourage you to read those posts—you can find last year’s here—I feel I said what want to say about the topic. So, I’m going to do something different this year. Here are a series of memes I made which paraphrase quotes from famous writers as messages, wishes, and yes, even resolutions, for the new year. I hope you enjoy them.
Wishing you a surcease of sorrow in the new year, Edgar Allan PoeAnother year has passed. So it goes, Kurt Vonnegut The new year dwells in possibilities, Emily DickinsonWishing you the best of times (and not the worst of times) in the new year, Charles DickensWishing you a new year in which you rise, Maya AngelouWishing you a year full of unexpected journeys, JRR TolkienWishing you a year free of war and full of peace, Leo TolstoyBe fearless and therefore powerful in the new year, Mary Shelley
