F or 2023 may I be kind and remember to play.   Kindness always is of benefit.  It is like gratitude--a gift that keeps giving.  Being blessed cleans up my greater mess  Yes loving friendly acts awakens me to enthusiasm Respond rather than react--Take a breath — Be a PRO - Pause, Relax and Open  Laughing is so much better than crying so may I lighten up  Kindly-become a champ not a chump  May I champion each moment with peace, love and joy  May I be gentle with myself - kindly mindful of my mindlessness KISS spells Keep It Simple Sweetheart!!!  More play, less crap & more fun - is my MAP Mindfulness at Play!
