Especially when they could use a little work. Still, as we work on plans of plastering our old schools with boycott posters, there seems to be a little bit of hope for me. In this brief entry, I'm just covering what's going on plan-wise. I've got a few businesses to personally see about poster-hanging and any chance at participation. Any place you visit semi-regularly is a place to start, for anyone thinking of doing the same. With a mentally taxing past few days, I'm almost lost for words. (How could that ever happen? Even I don't know.) Still, with the encroaching new year, I've got some resolutions to work on, including more posting. It'll start. Oh yes, it will.
As a resolution for anyone else, well, there are a lot of options, aren't there? Even though I'm sure many with chaotic lives have long lists involving a few repeats, and some of the more peacefully minded still have their plates full, it can't hurt to tack on a little P.S. about the boycott. Whether it's to be stricter with your product consumption, to hang that poster you've been meaning to, or to finally send that e-mail to your aunt or uncle, there's always a first step to take (and sometimes a long-delayed third). For me, this is something I take seriously because I've been able to learn a lot about many aspects of life through the discipline and thought necessary so far. I recommend it for any timid (or brave) soul in need of learning and inspiration.
Activism and consumer-revelation revolution business aside, all have my wishes for a healthy, hopeful, healing new year. Let's make it one full of inspiration and errors born of trials, with bandages for every painfully scraped knee. From here in Portland, I hope everyone has a great time. If any unfortunate has hard nights like I've had, do something silly like read this again and know that I'd be more than willing to give you a big hug (or a pat on the back if you're not a huggy type of person).
