This year, I want to be a nicer person to be around.

I know I usually make resolutions that will help me get in touch with good health and tread lightly on the Earth. They usually involve some kind of a rigid but manageable schedule (eat veggies once a day, exercise three times a week, etc.) and are designed to make me live better and feel better. I will still try to do those things. I will cook real food and breathe fresh air and reflect and recycle. I’ve done a decent job in those areas this year.

I think, though, that I’ve focused on those things in order to find some kind of happiness algorithm for myself. It’s working well enough, but I’m realizing that a formula can’t account for sincerity.
