I will give up chocolates totally. 100%. Completely. Honestly,,,
Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day in my nightdress. Instead, I will move my computer into the bedroom.
I will avoid taking a bath whenever possible and conserve more water.
I will no longer waste my time relieving the past, instead I will spend it worrying about the future.
I will do less laundry and use more deodorant.
I will give up chocolates totally. 100%. Completely. Honestly,,,
I will stop sending e-mail, ICQ, Instant Messages and be on the phone at the same time with the same person.
One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things.
"I do think New Year's resolutions can't technically be expected to begin on New Year's Day, don't you? Since, because it's an extension of New Year's Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second"
Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle.
