New Year’s Resolutions
Another year, another round of resolutions.
I don’t know about you, but I never get to keep mine. Whether I write them down in some official-looking list tacked on the cork board near my study table, in my diary or on a piece of paper neatly folded in my wallet (for easy reference) I can never, and I mean never, keep my New Year’s Resolutions.
Oh, but I have so much fun listing them down. Try to stop gossiping. Save 10% of your allowance every day! Don’t feel bad about sharing your clothes with Marsha. Help out in the household chores every Sunday. Finish your homework before watching TV. Resist antagonizing your brothers. After a while, though, I noticed that these are the very same things I write down year in and year out. If not, my list is longer. That means that, not only have I not gotten better, I got much worse.
So is it all a lost cause? Are we doomed to have the same nasty habits forever? Are we essentially the same immutable, unchangeable persons? Is New Year really an opportunity to jump-start the life that we want to lead and the person that we want to become? Or is it just any old day, much like any other day in the year?
I still don’t know. Meantime, let me copy my old list into a new one and see what happens again.

I could never keep my resolutions either, so I stopped making them altogether.
Now I just live one day at a time, but I’m working my way up to an organized and planned-out life. But it feels great to be spontaneous, too!
