New Year’s resolutions! Bah humbug! Why do I make them every
year? Why don’t I keep them? Here are my 2013 resolutions:
·
Lose weight. (Naw, didn’t happen. In fact, I
think I’ve put on 5 extra pounds during the year of 2013)
·
Exercise daily, or at least 3 times week. (Ugh!
Yeah, so did NOT happen! My total days of exercise could fill up a month’s
calendar and that’s it)
·
Passionately pursue my writing career via
editors, publishers, and agents. (That whoosh sound you hear is the loudest
sigh to ever pass my lips. I did NOT even approach anyone in the
agent/publishing field, which is grand puzzlement to me. WHY? Why didn’t I?)
·
De-clutter my house and garage. (I border on
being a hoarder – not visible inside my house, but I know it’s there in closets,
drawers, cabinets and garage. I have made progress with this resolution in 2013)
·
Pay off/down credit cards. (This only works if
you have sufficient income during the year, which we did not. Consequently, our
credit card debt is higher going into 2014)
·
Eat healthier. (Yeah, this pesky resolution is
right up there with the weight loss/exercise one)
·
Pray more. (I did okay with this one, but I
could’ve done better)
·
Read the Bible more. (I am ashamed to say I
failed with this one)
I am a faithful New Year’s
Resolutions setter. I set them; I usually don’t follow through, though. Am I
setting more this year? You betcha – and probably the same as the above!
I know, I know! What can I say? I
love setting goals and having to-do lists, even if I don’t make it happen. Pray
for me, will you? My spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak.
