New Year's Resolution

Resolutions? How many of you made a New Year’s Resolution?

I said I wasn't going to make a list, especially a list of things that eventually left me feeling overwhelmed. How many of us do that? Make a long list that we want to change about ourselves, year after year?

 Last year, my resolution was no more list! Also, since last year, if I wanted to make a change then I incorporated it into my continual self-improvement plan. Even with that concept, I still made one (1) New Year’s Resolution this year: Put it on a schedule.

I always have this idea that I am going to do this, this and this. Then it feels like nothing was done. So now, I put it on a schedule. Then I realize this, this and this can’t be done on the same day. Next I have to choose one. When it’s done, then mission is accomplished.

So did you make a list? Share below in comments your list.

MY POEM FOR THE WEEK

New Year’s Resolution comes once a year

I always make myself pay so dear

But then my list got me down

Crying like tears from a clown

So the list becomes confetti tossed in the air.
