Dontcha know?

Yes, it's that time of year we resolve.
What do we resolve?
To be better.
A collective penitence, so to speak.

Resolutions are so cliche, you say? Even, wishful thinking?

Well guess what folks: Wishful thinking is right up my alley. Happens to be one of my strengths. So it may come as no surprise to you that I love making resolutions.

I love the energy that comes from it. I dream big and always fall short, but at least I move forward in the right direction. Call it what you will, but every year the energy comes back and I'm like Jerry Seinfeld, in "A Bee Story" as he repeatedly slams into a glass door:
Maybe this time, maybe this time, maybe this time.

The door is going to open! This time it will open for me!

Behind that door lies healthier habits, more writing, better writing, more education, more trips to the temple, a kinder disposition, less debt and whiter teeth!

And to prove I'm more than just talk, here is this post, that I've written.  I could have spent the last 15 minutes playing boggle on my ipod, but instead, I'm making good on my resolution.

I will go even further to report that not only am I writing, but I am writing whilst mostly covered in sweat, from the gym this morning where I burned at least 700 calories. And just so you know it's really me and not some impostor, I'm disclosing the fact that there is a cup of Steven's (non-diet, full sugar) hot chocolate right beside me.

Nevertheless....movement in the right direction is good!

Now I will go work on another goal: to shower and look presentable everyday.

Yay me!
