Resolved, or Still Working On It?
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Saturday, January 02, 2010 12:15 PM
To be quite honest with you, even though we’ve rung in the New Year—and I did so in style this year—I have some work to do on anticipating the 365 days that stretch out before us. I love to make and revisit my New Year’s resolutions every year, but somehow this year’s big day seems to have crept up on me!
I found Joseph Pronechen’s featured article today on resolutions to be a tremendous source of inspiration. I’ve given mine some thought, but have yet to commit them to paper as I love to do each year. Somehow, perched on the edge of a new decade, they seem to require more thought and reflection for me this year.
A few nights ago at dinner, our family of four conversed about what we would look like at this time next year. Eric will be on winter break from an as-yet-to-be-named university, likely on the opposite side of the country. Adam will be a driver, ruling the roost without a big brother to boss him around on a daily basis. Greg and I will continue with the opportunities that lie ahead of us, but with half of our hearts living outside of our home.
Half of my wants to sail into 2010 with vim and vigor, resolved to change myself and my small part of the world. The other half secretly may not have done her resolutions yet simply because she really wants to just freeze time in this moment and avoid all of the changes this year will undoubtedly bring.
How about you? Have you written down and committed to resolutions for this year (or perhaps even already broken them), or are you like me—still meandering into the thought of another year of the challenges and joys that will unfold this year? As for my resolutions, I’ll likely get back to you on those next week, or I won’t… we’ll see!
