breaking with tradition
ok, so here we are in the third day of the new year, and I have already broken my first tradition. Many people make a New Year’s resolution, which they fail to achieve and frequently stop working towards between the 2nd and 6th week of the new year. If it makes it that long. I haven’t made a new year’s resolution in quite sometime, and typically don’t. But this year, I decided it would be a good idea. I only made one, and I don’t expect it to be difficult to keep.
My lone resolution is this: this year I’m going to do more things that make me happy. That’s it. That’s all. But I’m not going to doing it in a selfish manner - I’m not talking about hoarding, or give me this, give me that kind of behavior. I’m thinking more along the lines of spending more Sundays at Riverbanks, working in and on my garden, doing some more writing, hanging out with friends more, that kind of thing. Investing more time in the people, things, and experiences I enjoy.
So there it is - my first tradition broken. This is going to be a year of many broken traditions - and many new ones. Can’t wait to see what happens!
