Hate them. However, I inevitably make some. Usually this is an exercise in futility. Since I just read my wordpress status report, I guess I need to blog more. I am very influenced by the opinions of others, even if they are automated! And anyway, didn’t I start blogging with a reason? To keep my writing skills honed, to archive certain moments (even though I have a daily handwritten journal)?
What is the real purpose of a New Year’s Resolution? It’s a reminder of who you want to be. It’s never too late to improve, expand, stretch, contribute…
2014 will be a year of blogging, thinking, creatively engaging, and doing. Now that’s a resolution I can embrace whole-heartedly. The others (get thin, exercise, get healthy, eat better, cook more, blah, blah, blah) are ongoing and I have moments of happy success and moments of disappointing failure. But this is, of course, a first world problem. I have a roof over my head, a comfortable life, and beauty and pleasure abounds. One should never forget the luck and fortune that has resulted in one’s being safe and sound. Millions are denied the opportunity.
