It's the fourth week of 2012, have you kept your resolutions? Did you even make them?
I live to write down my resolutions, I look forward to writing my resolutions list and making copies of it that I place in strategic places throughout the house. I check it daily and smile nodding my head at the good resolution keeper that I am. I usually put a tick mark next to the date on my datebook. Check! Another day that I stayed on track!
I tell myself that I rule, and that this year is going to be 'the one'. The euphoric time usually ends by the second week of the year, when I begin to wait longer between visits to my list and when I do, I sigh more than smile at how behind I am and how bad it is that I didn't reach my goal...again.
Finally the list will be forgotten, I'll accidentally happen upon it and again I will sigh and pat the piece of paper as if it is the one that needed reassuring.
Not this year by golly. This year I'm super successful! I am making strides. Not sure where I'm headed except to say that for once in my life, I'm not disappointed. I'm not dejected and I'm not sighing.
Because I forgot to write down my resolutions! Ooops.
If you did make a list, I hope you're sticking to it and doing well. I may still sit down and write a list, I suppose it's still January.
Oh My God, just had a thought! If I make my list now, then next year I can say I made it past the first month!
Bye Ya'll - I gotta go - - Going to make my resolutions list...
I don't make them because I don't like lying to myself! :-)
Me neither. Although I did hear a funny one about a guy resolving to gain weight and take up smoking. thought he could keep those.
Hildie, Linda, and Beth, you are so funny! I am NOT a list person, but I have made lists if everyone around me did. Some years I take the list from the previous year and copy it. There are always enough things left over for another year.
I still have not made my list, I started to and got sidetracked by cheesecake!
I don't make a list but I have big goals in my head that I think about a lot. The little stuff I don't bother with...
Good way of 'thinking' Judy, it makes sense.
I have one resolution this year. Be kind to myself. If I focus on this everything else will fall into place.
No resolutions for me. I just feel guilty when I don't keep them!
I didn't make any personal ones, only career wise - to write another romantic comedy by April and one of my hero stories by the end of the year. I'm on target so far.
Hildie,
I've made New Year resolution lists for as long as I can remember. Because I'm a music teacher, I also think of September as a new year--so I write lists twice a year. Now if I can only stick to them!
