Most Resolutions Are Broken by the Third Day

I could lose a little weight

     —but I would tell myself, ‘Oh, you’re not THAT overweight anyway.’

I could exercise more every day

     —but I would tell myself, ‘But you walk every day!’

I could cut out junk food

     —but I would tell myself, ‘And give up chocolate and pepsi? No way!’

I could quit drinking

     —but I would tell myself, ‘You don’t even really drink very much.’

I could write every day

     —but I would tell myself ‘Other things HAVE to be done!’


Maybe I’ll just resolve to be the best ‘me’ I can in 2009…

Happy New Year!
