Every year I rattle off a rotating list of New Years "resolutions" in my head:
I'm going to eat better
I'm going to run more
I'm going to drink more water and less wine (come on...this one is doomed from the start)
I'm going to go to church
I'm going to volunteer
I'm going to adopt better spending habits
I'm going to start a blog (!?!?!?!)
Now, some of my closest friends (and sure to be my only readers...) have heard me mention the last item more than once. I have two failed blogs to prove it (with a combined 12 posts over two years).
We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be "better" and every January create this mental list of things we need to do to achieve the "better", "skinnier", "healthier", "wealthier"...you know that list, it goes on and on.
So, it's Feb 2 (minutes away from Feb 3) and many (read: most) of us have already abandoned our New Years "resolution". So that's why I'm starting February Resolutions...I've had 31, well actually 33 days to think about it, and I'm starting with what seems to be the simplest thing first: start a blog.
I don't know what this will end up being or who will ever read it. But maybe, for once? I'll stick a resolution out.
What's your February resolution?
