Well and Good NYC has a little article up celebrating Chinese New Year and the resolutions don’t say anything about losing ten pounds or putting more money into your retirement account.

1. Add flowers

2. Clean house.

3. Get your hair cut.

4. Wear new clothes.

5. Mend relationships.
Get rid of old grudges and move on.
