Life is too full of surprises, changes, etc. to try to stick to something that you don't really want to do anyway (if you really wanted to do it, you would have without a "resolution").

Pre-Covid, one of the standing jokes at my health club was how many new people showed up for the first two or three weeks in January, apparently to lose weight and get back in shape. Most of them disappeared by the end of the month. <br /><br />I stopped making resolutions a few years ago because so much has happened physically. Now I just try to stay active both mentally and physically and demand less of my writing. It's not going to change the world or make me perfect, but as long as I still enjoy doing it, I'll keep on. Ditto with the music. <br /><br />Things still go wrong occasionally, but I let them bother me less than I used to. Maybe that's one definition of growing up, but I'd certainly be the last person to ask about that. Happy new year.Steve Liskowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107703903536520140noreply@blogger.com
