New Year’s Resolutions And Other Things I May Not Finish

It’s the first day of a new year and I guarantee you have given some thought to what kinds of goals you want to accomplish this year. I don’t necessarily set out to put on paper the standard “resolutions” because for me it is not a once a year thing. I find myself having to recommit to goals at least once a month, and sometimes even once a week. Sometimes they get written down and other times they take up much needed space in my brain, along with the guilt I get every time I don’t complete them. Who said all this beauty and talent didn’t come with a price?

But just because I don’t like traditional New Year’s goals, I would be lying if I said I hadn’t thought about some resolutions as the new year approached. On my list are the standards: work out more, finish my scrapbooks, save more money, read the complete list of Pulitzer Prize winning books, and watch less of “The Bachelor.” Okay, that last one will probably not happen, but that’s the kind of guilt I am willing to live with. They are bringing Jake, the pilot, back for Heaven’s sake!

In case you haven’t made your list yet or are looking for some inspiration I give you the New Year’s Resolution Generator. According to it, I have some coping to learn. I can only imagine the guilt I am going to feel when I fail at this one.
