Better Days...
You can't get to no better days | Unless you make it through the night | Oh, you will see those better days | But you gotta be patient | Be patient, oh baby, be patient...~Dianne Reeves, Better Days
It’s amazing how many people have abandoned New Year's Resolutions. It seems the idea of meeting a New Year, with new change is considered taboo. Is it because traditionally people pledge to do things they know in their heart they can’t and won’t—under any circumstances whatsoever—do? Or is it simply, people have grown tired of this much needed custom?
I for one believe in this age old tradition, and the possibilities of its outcome. Whether you choose to follow the standard calendar year, or rotating year of your choice, checks and balances (a point at which you stop and figure out just what the hell is working, and ain’t working in your life) is most definitely needed. Typically I start with New Year’s, and by my birthday in March I pause to see just how much I have accomplished, and so on throughout the rest of the year.
Last year I did well with my resolutions, and managed to surprise even myself! This year I hope for the same.
So here now, are a repeat of my last year resolutions, since they worked so well:
1. To be more patient.
2. To live like I mean it.
3. To open up and share more of myself.
4. To stop allowing others opinions to affect me so fucking much.
5. To call my parents on a regular basis.
6. To go to church on a regular basis.
7. To stop putting things off as if I have all the time in the world.
To all my peeps: Whatever you do this year, do it like you mean it--and make sure you check me if you see me doing the opposite.
I cannot do it without you…
