The New Year always gives us a chance to look back and say, "Ah, I must do it differently this year"; and so we try. I've never really drawn up resolutions for a new year. It always seems to cross my mind though, and I think, I should do such and such, and now would be a good time to start doing such and such, and on. But of course, I never ever really took it seriously because in the back of my mind and at the bottom of my heart, I knew that I just wouldn't ever follow or listen or keep said resolutions. And so, I never really made any.
Today, I like the word "resolution" better and better. I want to be resolute, which was my big word the day I started this blog. So, I have a feeling I may be able to keep a few resolutions going. The first, and possibly easiest, would be to blog. So far, so good. Next would be to read more to Dylan, as we seem to be quite inconsistent and have been very bad and naughty about reading good things for him. He is sometimes stuck with me reading excerpts from American Gods, or worse, the entire catalog/listing of tea, food, and fragrance websites. But I read somewhere that reading him anything is a good thing, so...Next up on the list would be to definitely spend less money on things that we most certainly could live without - this is where it gets tricky and the decision process gets painstaking - the choices, the horror. It will be difficult, and seemingly daunting task, but we would have to somehow come up with a workable list of what is required and what is superfluous in our life. I think I will start out with these 3 and see how will I do. Thereafter, I feel that more resolutions can be made up as we go along. Having a blog will certainly help to mark the progress and success of these courses of action.
The New Year is upon us!
