New year resolutions...or not

Golden unicorn necklace

OK, I don't take new year resolutions...I never have and never will.
I don't want to lose weight, I don't want to do more sports.
And I seriously don't have any goals in life other than being happy...so maybe that's what I should work on...find some goals...and decide what makes me happy.
I'd  like to set up a newsletter for my shops but I am not sure I want to bother...
I'd like to travel more but I don't even  own a passport any more ...and, well, I don't have the money for that either. I'd still really like to attend that conference by one of my heroes, Jacques Vallée...but that's in Phoenix, Arizona...next month so that doesn't seem very realistic.
A steady money income would be really cool but after years of trying, I kind of gave up on that too. I mean, you cannot keep on trying things that just don't work again and again...To keep your sanity and some self-esteem, you just have to let go. I let go and am much  happier...but very aimless.
It is strange to me that in this word you're pretty much only defined by your goals and job, like   if you don't have either you're  a non-person. Maybe I should join a buddhist monastery, but could I take the cats along? And wouldn't I be cold? And I am not that big on meditation.

Let's go by a lottery ticket or run after golden unicorns...
