Alfalfa 2013 Resolutions / Rafael

How are you spending your last day of 2012?

As a holiday treat, Alfalfa has put together a small but meaningful collection of resolutions for 2013. Resolutions are a great way to bid farewell to the ending year and say hello to the new one. I always try to write my New Year’s resolutions down somewhere, because resolutions that only exist in your head tend to vanish into thin air. Although they easily get buried and forgotten in the mountains of fresh new tasks and concerns, resolutions remind ourselves of our dreams, our desires, and things we truly care for. They may remind you of the good-natured sense of humor you once had that you might have lost over time. I sometimes come across scribblings in old notebooks, of future plans and wishes, some of which I have accomplished, others remaining still a dream. Either way, it is fascinating to look back and discover a part of myself from a certain point in my life.

The last seven days of 2012, seven Alfalfa Studio family members share their resolutions for the New Year of 2013.

Today I share with you the resolutions of Rafael Esquer.

And today, December 31, also happens to be Rafael’s birthday!
