It's a new year, which inevitably brings a whole raft of resolutions, commitments, and proclamations of change. I am not immune to the allure of a fresh start - a chance to reflect on all my failings in 2010 and fervently vow to do absolutely everything better in the new year. I'll be more faithful, more active, more patient and more generous. I'll eat better, exercise more, and go to bed earlier. I'll cook more meals, organize my attic, regularly clean my house and grow vegetables. I'll be a better wife, mother, daughter, and friend. I'll write more, read more and procrastinate less.
Unfortunately, the thing that think I'll be best at is breaking all my shiny new resolutions. But I can't break them if I don't make them, right?
So here's to 2011 - a chance to make a fresh clean start. I plan to show up here more often - hopefully you'll meet me here.
