Every year I resolve and promise XYZ … I’m good for a few days and then— zap! I miss a day, or eat a scoop of ice cream, or forget “Z of the XYZ”… and then I feel guilty!
Well, this year, I resolved to NOT resolve. And I feel so much better for not putting high expectations and promises out into the ether… where they sit and stare back at me.
This year, I decided to just live! one day at a time… and enjoy life…
It’s a matter of living each moment and deciding what would make me happy at that moment… and if staying under the covers until 11 in the morning is what I truly desire… well! There you go. Lazy, crazy, under the covers, is where you’ll find me. (If you bother to look, but don’t bother, because I have never liked sleeping toooo late. It makes me groggy when I finally rise. Although, I will admit to sleeping overtime after my latest golf trip… missing the last bus home and staying up in the airport terminal through a very long night. That time, I did stay under the covers for a full day! No guilt involved. I deserved it. 🙂
So, here’s a question for you… Have you made any resolutions this year? Resolutions you can live with and break without guilt?
Do you believe in the wisdom of making resolutions? Ever had a resolution that you kept, that actually changed your life? Like loosing a hundred pounds or taking up knitting as a hobby?

I don’t make resolutions. I make decisions. In my mind there is a real difference. I can change a decision based on the newest information I have or if circumstances change, without hesitation or guilt. A resolution feels dead ended. Keep the resolution or fail. Bad karma.
Good analysis! Resolutions are destined to fail. Why do we keep making them???? A mystery.
