You Say You Want a Resolution...

Well, it appears all the good ones have already been taken.  Or perhaps resolutions are frequently as unoriginal as tropes, and just as rankly abused.  While I sit here at home on an overly gloomy, rainy New Year's Eve, I consider the habit of resolution making.  I, for one, like it.  It implies at least a moment of reflection or taking stock, blended with an optimistic view of future days.  And while I am well aware (from my personal history and viewing the habits of others) that few resolutions survive a month, much less a full year, I am going to set my own and hope they make it long enough for at least a few better habits to form.  Here goes:

I resolve, in the year 2013, to 

• Do all that stuff listed on the pretty jpeg that I used to open this post; 
• Read and Review at least one book per week (Reviews will be posted HERE!);
• Talk less so I can listen and write more;
• Laugh more;
• Devote more time to my spiritual health.

The best thing about blogging is that I can use it as a form of journal and source of accountability.  Hopefully I will remember in 2013 to live in a way that I can enjoy the present, plan for the future, and remember significant aspects of the past.

What are your views on resolutions, and do you plan to make any?

Until later, I still like you.

XOXO,
