My Resolution is Simply to Live in the Present...
I do not make New Years resolutions. I feel like they are a set up for failure even for the strongest of my friends. Every year in January my gym is flooded with newbies who have made a resolution to get fit. Not that I am against it, I think its great! I just change up the time I go so I can avoid the temporary crowd. What bugs me is by February It's like they were never there at all! Same old faces as before the holidays and we chat and sweat and get through the cold early mornings together. I think if you are going to resolve to do something then you should commit yourself to it 100%. I also think any resolution fueled by a night of drinking is probably a bad idea!
This year I want to try a small resolution mainly due to my new found freedom from myself. I have kept a fortress around myself for 40 years and lived really well. This year for the first time ever I let the wall come down and at the ripe old age of 42 I am getting through my very first broken heart. It is almost comical that all the things I heard girls say all my life I am feeling for the first time. It is a very liberating experience, and truly amazing because as an adult I can do something the younger me could not have. I can take responsibility. I allowed my past to mess with my present and I have no one to blame but me. So in honor of the new year I simply resolve to live in the present, be my true self, love deeply, and love often. Life is to short to live a false life.
Happy New Year Everyone!!!
